Nottingham Forest have signed 19-year-old forward Donnell McNeilly from Chelsea in a free transfer deal, as the 5 foot 11 striker decides to depart the Blues in search of regular first-team football. Forest have been monitoring McNeilly for several months and will be delighted to get a deal over the line; as Chelsea needed to sell players to help balance the books after a very busy summer transfer window.
Current Atletico Madrid and former Chelsea attacking midfielder Conor Gallagher is the top transfer target for Crystal Palace before the transfer window slams shut on September 1st, as the 25-year-old pines for a return to England and to the team that he had a successful loan stint with in the 2021-2022 season.
