Crystal Palace are ‘working on a loan deal’ for Lewis Hall following his breakthrough campaign with Chelsea last season.
Hall made his Premier League last November and would go onto make 11 appearances for the Blues during the 2022/23 campaign.
In a horrific season, the 18-year-old was a rare bright spot for Chelsea, impressing whenever he played and eventually winning the club’s Academy Player of the Year award.
Over the summer, his contract was extended to 2026 but with strong competition from Ben Chilwell and Marc Cucurella, the left-back’s short-term future is expected to be away from Stamford Bridge.
Palace have had an interest in signing Hall, who can also play in midfield, since back in May, with cover needed for Tyrick Mitchell – the only natural left-back at Selhurst Park.
That need has exemplified in recent weeks after Mitchell was injured in pre-season and the 23-year-old now faces a race against time to be fit for the start of the new campaign.
As a result, the South London Press report that the Eagles are in talks with Chelsea over bringing Hall in on loan but not before the teenager pens a new deal with his boyhood club.
