Birmingham City stance on George Hall shared as Leeds United prepare bid
Birmingham City are reportedly adamant that they will rebuff any offers that they receive for Leeds United target Goerge Hall.
According to Birmingham Live, the Championship club see the attacker as one of their prized assets for the future and are unwilling to part ways with him this summer.
The Daily Mail reported in their print edition in June that Leeds were preparing to table an opening bid in the region of £1million to sign the 18-year-old.
Good investment?
While we do not see Hall becoming a first-team regular in the next few months at Elland Road, he’s good enough to be on the fringes of the first team and play the role of a bench player.
Birmingham’s Under-18 coach Martyn Olorenshaw said of him in November 2021, “He is an attacking midfielder with an ability to create and score goals. He is explosive, dynamic and has the prowess to influence games.”
With the upcoming season set to have five subs per game and matches coming up quickly, managers will have to deal with a lot of fatigue.
To avoid this, they will be rotating their players often and if Hall joins, it won’t be long before he makes his Premier League debut, albeit a five-minute cameo off the bench.
However, Birmingham are playing hard ball so the Whites may not look to get involved in another transfer saga.
They are looking to sign a striker as well as left-back for the first team and may not want to waste their time on signing a youngster that they could pursue at a later stage in the window.
Hall certainly is one the hierarchy will be keeping an eye on and hopefully, they manage to secure his services before some of the rich clubs come in for him.
