Gallagher has piqued the interest of a number of Championship clubs this summer, with Wigan and Brentford also understood to have made formal approaches.

Gallagher previously spent a season on loan at Ewood Park, scoring 12 times in 47 appearances across all competitions for Rovers.

The Southampton academy graduate also spent a season on loan with Birmingham City, the former club of new summer signing Che Adams.
