Potential next club for Newcastle left-back Lewis Hall

Newcastle's reported need to sell in the 2026/27 summer transfer window has prompted suggestions that a number of key assets could be set to depart St James' Park, including Lewis Hall.

Anthony Gordon has already completed a £70m switch to Catalan giants Barcelona, while Sandro Tonali has been heavily linked with Premier League trio Tottenham, Manchester City and Arsenal, and the Magpies' 21-year-old full-back is reportedly the latest star drawing up interest.

Making the permanent switch to Newcastle in the summer of 2024 following a relatively successful one-year loan spell with the club, the England international has rapidly established himself as one of the Premier League's finest operators in the left-back position.

We take a look at where Hall could be plying his trade next season if he leaves Newcastle this summer.

Manchester United

Manchester United have a huge summer transfer window ahead of them before a return to the UEFA Champions League next year, and left-back is amongst a number of departments that needs attending to if they wish to compete on all fronts next campaign.

In spite of reservations regarding Luke Shaw's fitness in more recent years, the Red Devils left-back did play all 38 Premier League games for the North West outfit in the 2025/26 campaign - doing so for the first time in his 14-year top-flight stay.

With that said, Man Utd played just 40 games last term - the fewest possible - and the 2026/27 season will see them play a minimum of 48 games.

Not only do the 20-time league winners need to think about rotating Shaw; eventually they'll have to think about life without the 30-year-old, and Hall shares a number of similarities to the Man Utd veteran when he joined the club at just 18-years-old from Southampton.

An impressive ball-carrier, robust one v one defender and a technically gifted distributor, Hall would prove a shrewd pick up for Man Utd for both the future and the now.

Chelsea

Chelsea's recruitment approach has been bemusing in more recent years; a seemed obsession with hoarding elite global talent has left the West London outfit significantly short in experience, and a number of managers have ultimately paid the price.

Additionally, the ease at which the club have parted ways with Cobham graduates has frustrated fans. Tino Livramento, Marc Guehi and Fikayo Tomori are amongst the names who have thrived post-Chelsea, not to mention Newcastle ace Lewis Hall.

Joining the Magpies for a reported £35m fee from Stamford Bridge in 2024 after one-year loan spell at St James' Park, he's proved one of the division's most promising English talents.

As far as we are aware, there was no buy-back clause in the deal that saw Hall join Newcastle, and so you'd suspect Chelsea will have to pay nearly double what they sold the England international for to bring him back to West London.

The £51.8m sale of left-back Marc Cucurella to Real Madrid should provide Chelsea with more funds to strengthen the left-back department however, and Hall's Premier League experience and adaptability could see him emerge as a practical option.
