Chelsea have triggered a one-year contract extension for wonderkid Lewis Hall amid interest from Crystal Palace, according to reports.
Palace want to bring Hall to Selhurst Park on loan for the 2023-24 Premier League campaign.
While Chelsea have not yet made final a decision on Palace’s interest in a loan, they do not want to take any risks with losing the youngster permanently.
Hall was under contract until 2025 but his reported one-year extension takes it to 2026 and Chelsea still plan to offer him a longer contract once the window closes.
The 18-year-old is highly rated and can play in several positions including left-back and can also be deployed as a left-sided midfielder or central midfielder.
Hall had somewhat of a breakthrough season at Chelsea last season, making nine Premier League appearances and starting the Blues’ last four top-flight games.
He came through the Chelsea academy and recently earned his first cap for England U21s.
