Newcastle United official announcement – Lewis Hall permanent signing | OneFootball

Lewis Hall is now a permanent Newcastle United signing.

An official announcement from the club on Monday morning confirmed the news.

Lewis Hall arrived as an 18-year-old on an initial loan deal last summer.

Eddie Howe, as always, looking after the new signing, especially one so young, giving him time to adapt and integrate.

Then after giving him odd starts, including the League Cup wins over Manchester City and Manchester United, the Newcastle United boss gave the teenager a run of starts later in the season.

Lewis Hall looking a real quality player, especially going forward from his left-back position, those late appearances seeing him score a cracking goal at Old Trafford.

It had already been widely reported that Lewis Hall had met the criteria needed in his loan spell arrangement, that would trigger a permanent deal.

So with this the first day of the new (2024/25) season accounting period for Newcastle United, Lewis Hall was finally officially confirmed as a permanent signing, the transfer fee is unconfirmed as usual, but universally agreed around the media to be £28m.
