Newcastle United transfers: Chelsea defender Lewis Hall has emerged as a potential target for the Magpies this summer.
Newcastle are in the market for defensive additions during the summer window and with a focus on bringing in younger
players that can bolster the options at Eddie Howe’s disposal, Lewis Hall’s name has cropped up as a potential player of
interest. Hall enjoyed a breakthrough season at Stamford Bridge last season and impressed in the league and cup
appearances he was given an opportunity in.
The 18-year-old has represented England at youth level, however, with huge competition at Stamford Bridge this season, he
may see his game time slightly limited. Alongside Hall, the Blues have Marc Cucurella, Ben Chillwell and Ian Maatsen as
options and as new boss Mauricio Pochettino recently admitted, the club may have too many options for just one position:
“All of the players start from zero. It’s about competing.” Pochettino said.
“We have him [Cucurella] and Chilly also, and they need to compete for this position. Of course Ian, and Lewis, we have four
players that play the same position.
