Chelsea starlet Lewis Hall is currently undergoing a medical at Newcastle United ahead of a loan move with a mandatory buy option at the end of the season.
The unusual arrangement for the 18-year-old has been sorted in order for the Magpies to comply with the Premier League’s Financial Fair Play Regulations and will see the highly-rated youngster move on a permanent deal to St James’ Park on 1 July 2024 for $38m.
