As per South London Press (h/t Football London), Crystal Palace are eyeing a move for young Chelsea defender Lewis Hall during the ongoing summer transfer window.
After playing at left-back and central midfield under Graham Potter and Frank Lampard last season, Hall’s game time was restricted in the pre-season under Mauricio Pochettino because of Ian Maatsen’s success at left-back.
Hall is likely to sign a new contract with Chelsea before possibly moving out on loan. Palace are eyeing a temporary move for the 18-year-old ahead of the start of the season. The Eagles have struggled to get players in this summer. Hence, getting Hall would be nice for them on two fronts as the youngster can play both as a left-back and a midfielder.
We have had a good recent history of young Chelsea players going on loan to Palace and doing well there. Conor Gallagher is the latest example when he starred for the south London side during the 2021/22 season before coming back to Stamford Bridge.
Hall is a talented player who should do well at Selhurst Park if given an adequate amount of opportunities by Roy Hodgson. The England U19 international hasn’t been out on loan since starting as a youth player at Chelsea three years ago.
So, if Palace manage to complete this move, it should be a welcome change for the defender. He can play more in the coming season which would be great for his overall development as a player.
The good thing about this move is that the Eagles are in the Premier League. Hence, Chelsea can have a close look at him and understand that any performance he is putting up is done in the same division as them.
