£28 million defender expected to join Newcastle spotted at the Etihad last night
The talented young defender recently travelled to Tyneside to finalise his move from Chelsea. Newcastle have agreed on a season-long loan deal with a £28 million obligation to buy him permanently next summer. As per , the defender was present in the stands during Newcastle’s 1-0 defeat against Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium. The Magpies used Dan Burn as their left back last season and Eddie Howe was keen on signing a more specialist option for that position. Hall is highly rated in England and he has a big future ahead of him. He could prove to be a quality long-term asset for the Magpies and it remains to be seen whether he can establish himself as a key player for Newcastle in the coming weeks. The England under-21 international needs regular game time in order to continue his development and he was unlikely to get that at Chelsea. A move to Newcastle seems ideal for all parties and it will be interesting to see whether he can hit the ground running at his new club.
