But Crystal Palace have been long term admirers of the England under-21s international and Gallagher is set to to join the Eagles under new boss Patrick Vieira according to reports, despite the interest from Leeds and also Newcastle United.

Erling Haaland shows love for Leeds (again)

Erling Haaland’s love for Leeds United is no secret - and now the striking sensation has been pictured wearing the club’s gear.

Twenty one years later, the Norwegian international striker is one of the hottest properties in football and one who has been pictured by a TikTok user signing autographs from his car whist wearing Leeds United shorts.
