CONOR GALLAGHER will be allowed out on loan by Chelsea — with Crystal Palace and Newcastle scrapping for him.
The midfielder, 21, had hoped to impress boss Thomas Tuchel after a season at West Brom but the door is open for him to leave again.
Chelsea do not want to sell Gallagher, however.
Palace are keen to take him for the season — and it also suits Toon chief Steve Bruce on that basis.
But the Eagles have been priced out of a move for Denmark centre-half Joachim Andersen, 25, after he impressed for Fulham on loan last season.
Parent club Lyon want around £26million.
Andersen has heard of potential Spurs interest but may now find they will look elsewhere.
Defender Gary Cahill, 35, is being eyed by Steven Gerrard’s Rangers, who could give him £35,000 a week.
Palace want Cahill to stay and sign a new deal after his contract expired — but the offer is less basic cash with extras for appearances.
Meanwhile, Chelsea will swoop to prise Robert Lewandowski away from Bayern Munich in a £50million deal.
The Blues failed to tempt Borussia Dortmund into accepting a players-plus-cash deal for £150m-rated hotshot Erling Haaland.
That has forced the European champs to revive interest in record-breaking Lewandowski, 32, as they try to get boss Tuchel a prolific scorer.

Chelsea face a fight to bring Bayern to the negotiating table for the Poland international.
The German champions want Lewandowski to sign an extension to his current contract, which does not expire until the summer of 2023.
But Lewandowski is keen for one last adventure and would relish a move to the Premier League.
