OFFICIAL: Conor Gallagher joins Atletico Madrid (for real this time!)

  /  Fishtarison

ATLETICO MADRID have announced the arrival of Conor Gallagher.

The midfielder has finally completed a £34million switch from Chelsea after being frozen out at Stamford Bridge.

And the Spanish giants announced the capture with a cartoon drawing of an animal, captioning the post: "Beware of the pitbull."

Gallagher, 24, was subject to a bid from Atletico earlier this month amid interest from Aston Villa.

He even flew to Madrid to finalise the transfer, only for it to collapse as Samu Omorodion turned down the proposed swap deal.

That left Gallagher in limbo and the midfielder was forced to return to London while the clubs thrashed out a deal.

Chelsea rescued the deal by offering £40m to sign Joao Felix.
