Newcastle manager Eddie Howe has confirmed the club are interested in signing versatile Chelsea teenager Lewis Hall on loan.
The 18-year-old made his Premier League debut for the Blues in a 1-0 defeat at Newcastle in November 2022.
Hall would become Newcastle's fifth signing of the summer if he makes the switch to St James' Park.
"It's a loan deal. He's a player I like - very versatile with really good potential," said Howe.
"Let's see what happens today. If we do bring a player in [Hall], that will be our transfer business concluded, unless injuries.
