Newcastle United have officially completed the signing of Chelsea’s Lewis Hall on a loan contract with the option of a permanent signing at the end of the season.
The English under-21 player made his debut for Chelsea in their 1-0 defeat to Newcastle in November.
However, the loan deal has a sell-out clause for Chelsea if Hall leaves Newcastle at the end of the season.
Hall came through the Stamford Bridge Academy and laid out a £28 million budget, plus a further £7 million in add-ons to be activated at the end of the season.
He plays left back or right wing and also midfield. He is a versatile player who will play alongside Newcastle summer signings Sandro Tonali, Harvey Barnes, Tino Livamento, and Yankubu Mineh.
Newcastle manager Eddie Howe on the player:
He is a player we have tracked closely, as have a number of clubs,so it’s very pleasing to secure him and to add a player of his quality, versatility, and high potential to our squad.
The England under-21 international has always been a fan of Newcastle since childhood and will wear the number 2 jersey.
Hall, on his signing to Newcastle, told our news reporters that “I’m very proud. Me and my family are Newcastle fans, and for me and my brother growing up, It was drilled into us that we were from Newcastle. It’s a big club, and I can’t wait to get started”.
He was born on September 8, 2004, in England. Plays as a left back for Newcastle United, on loan from Chelsea.
He made his professional debut for Chelsea in January 2022 in an FA Cup third round match against Chesterfield at Stamford Bridge, providing an assist for the third goal of the match for the Blues.
He made his Premier League debut on November 12 last year in a 1-0 defeat to Newcastle.
In conclusion, he further made 10 appearances for the club and won Chelsea Academy Player of the Year for 2023. Hall has represented England from under 15 up to 21.
