Live Bar News Sky Sports reported on August 18 that Newcastle coach Eddie Hao confirmed that the team was working hard to sign Lewis Hall from Chelsea. If the deal was completed, this will be the team’s last offer in summer window.
Eddie Howe: “Yes, this is a loan offer. Hall is a player I like very much. He has great potential. Let’s see what will happen today.
If we really sign Hall, our recruitment this summer will be over unless there are injuries in the team.”
Sky Sports said that this was a lease + forced buyout transfer. Newcastle would pay Chelsea a fixed fee of 28 million pounds in the summer and there would be additional terms related to performance. In addition, such a transfer method can also make Newcastle better comply with FFP regulations.
So far, Newcastle has signed tonali, Harvey Barnes, Livramento and Mingtai in summer window.
