Newcastle Pursues Chelsea’s £30m-Valued Defender Lewis Hall

Newcastle are keen on signing Chelsea’s defender, Lewis Hall, who is currently valued by the Blues around £30m.

Hall has recently come to a tentative agreement for a fresh contract with Stamford Bridge. Now, Newcastle is in deep discussions with Chelsea about acquiring the young defender, with a ballpark figure of £30m on the table.

The young star, just 18, has recently committed, in principle, to a long-term deal with the Blues.

Last season, Hall made his debut in the Premier League for Chelsea and secured nine top-flight appearances. Additionally, he has also played for England’s U21 team.

Howe: We’re hoping for one more signing

After Newcastle’s opening day 5-1 victory over Aston Villa last Saturday, Eddie Howe told Sky Sports he was targeting one more signing before the end of the transfer window.

He said: “We’re hoping for one more [signing], no guarantee, but we will fight to the end to strengthen.
