Gallagher scored six times and registered four assists at The Valley before leaving Lee Bowyer's side for promotion-chasing Swansea City in January.

He failed to score in 21 outings, but contributed seven assists as Swansea failed in their bid to finish in the Championship play-off spots.

Leeds have registered their interest in signing Gallagher on a permanent deal, with Marcelo Bielsa's newly-promoted side revamping their squad after promotion.

Having already landed reinforcements in defence and up front in the form of Robin Koch and Rodrigo Moreno, midfielders Harry Wilson and Rafinha have been linked with Leeds who began their 2020-21 campaign with a 4-3 defeat to Liverpool on Saturday.
