Newcastle still open to Hall sale – Thursday’s gossip
Newcastle United may still be open to selling left-back Lewis Hall next summer, according to reports, despite the 22-year-old England international recently agreeing a new contract with the club until 2031. The report comes amid a wider round-up of Premier League and European transfer talk, including interest from Manchester United, who have also been linked with a new contract for defender Lisandro Martinez and scouting missions for young striker Nicolo Tresoldi.
Elsewhere, Brighton are reportedly close to tying Yasin Ayari to a new deal, while fellow winger Kaoru Mitoma looks likely to leave, possibly as early as January, with his contract expiring next summer. Chelsea are said to be considering a renewed approach for Roma's Manu Kone, potentially involving Jamie Gittens moving the other way, while Liverpool are eyeing further midfield reinforcements that could affect Alexis Mac Allister's role, and Manchester City have been credited with interest in Atletico Madrid's Alex Baena.
