00:00 Lewis Hall has become Newcastle United's fifth signing of the summer after joining

00:06 on loan from Chelsea. Now that move will likely be made into a permanent one at the end of

00:10 the season. Newcastle have got an obligation to buy should certain performance-related

00:14 criteria be met and everyone assumes that will be met this season. The fee we expect

00:20 will be around £30 million for the 18-year-old who has made 12 senior appearances for Chelsea.

00:27 He made his Premier League debut at St James' Park back in November in that Newcastle win

00:32 against Chelsea and he started against Newcastle at the end of the season. He has got experience

00:38 of Premier League football but as I said, 12 senior appearances is a lot. So there's

00:44 a lot of expectation on him to become Newcastle's next starting left back. Obviously we've seen

00:48 Dan Byrne play there in recent seasons, Matt Tarver still at the club. So there's plenty

00:52 of competition for spots and Lewis Hall won't be thrusting the first few in straight away

00:57 but it's definitely a sign for the future and certainly one that's got Newcastle United

01:00 fans very excited. It's an 18-year-old with England ambitions and with Tino Levermendo

01:07 on the other side, Harrison Ashby as well. The future is bright in Newcastle and I think

01:11 Hall will join the team obviously on the up and be someone that Eddie Howe can really

01:16 feel he can mold and shape into the type of player, the type of full-back he wants. As

01:21 I said, pressure won't be too high on him starting, playing Liverpool on the weekend,

01:25 you imagine Hall might be on the bench but you don't imagine he'll start that game, especially

01:29 with the settled back fives that they've got there at the club. It'll be hard to dislodge

01:33 Dan Byrne but with all the games coming up, with all the Champions League and Cup games,

01:36 there's going to be plenty of opportunity for Hall to get games under his belt and really

01:43 show why Newcastle have put a lot of faith in him, not just this season but I'd say with

01:47 that £30m obligation, that's a lot of money for an 18-year-old. But all the signs are

01:52 positive that he can have a great future in the game. Frank Lampard is very positive about

01:57 Hall during his brief time as interim manager. Thomas Tuchel gave him a chance in the first

02:04 team, Trane Greenpotter then gave him a chance in the first team as mentioned. So there's

02:08 lots of hopes high for Hall to become Newcastle's starting left-back within the next few seasons

02:15 and it really stamps their transfer policy this year as I've mentioned with Levermando,

02:20 Sandro Tonale and Jakub Aminta who will join next time after his loan final. These are

02:25 all players under 23 who have all got bright futures in the game and as much as financial

02:29 fair play constraints have impacted their business this summer, we've seen that for

02:34 example this move for Hall is now a loan move rather than a permanent one because of that.

02:40 Newcastle have still done some very good business this summer and probably that's it in terms

02:44 of incomings unless there's a serious injury between now and the window shutting on September

02:49 1st but overall it's been a very positive window and Lewis Hall is the icing on the

02:54 cake of what could be a very pivotal summer transfer window for Newcastle United but of

02:59 course the best way to stay up to date with all the latest transfer news and everything

03:04 else is with the Shields Gazette.
