32 It’s sure to be an intriguing summer in the transfer market for Newcastle United.
The Magpies still haven’t managed to get the monkey off their back regarding securing some long-awaited silverware, despite the evident riches of their owners, the Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF).
With Financial Fair Play now at the forefront of any transfer dealings, any potential largesse isn’t likely to materialise as Newcastle, undoubtedly, will also have to get creative in terms of just which players they’re able to bring in.
Lewis Hall could leave Newcastle this summer
Allowing current first-team stars to leave, either on loan or permanently might be a good start, though it does leave a scenario where clubs could be hamstrung by their finances and subsequent inability to strengthen in key areas.
Newcastle showed how capable they are when all players are fully fit and on song, equally, their lack of strength in depth since they’ve had an incredible amount of injuries has been self-evident.
Lewis Hall has barely played for Newcastle.One player that’s yet to truly make his mark at the club is youngster, Lewis Hall. According to WhoScored, the 19-year-old has played for just 673 minutes across 19 appearances, and he’s only managed 90 minutes on two separate occasions including Newcastle’s most recent game against Burnley.
Initally signed on loan from Chelsea, it’s believed he’s now reach the threshold where Newcastle need to turn the signing into a permanent one.
The issue for the North East giants is that he doesn’t appear to be at the level Eddie Howe requires of him just now.

At the risk of further disrupting the squad dynamic, Give Me Sport sources suggest that Newcastle are actually considering a loan for him, with Champions League finalists, Borussia Dortmund, ahead of the chasing pack for his services.
The Bundesliga side are known to bring through young players and help them realise their potential, and one only needs to look at the likes of Jadon Sancho, Erling Haaland and Jude Bellingham to understand that to be the case.
It’s therefore a move that could potentially suit all parties.
