Leeds United lead in chase of Birmingham young star George Hall
Leeds United are leading the race to sign young Birmingham midfielder George Hall, according to Daily Mail.
The 17-year-old is very highly-rated in the football community and has already made his Birmingham debut in the recently concluded season against Queens Park Rangers back in January earlier this year.
As per the recent report, the Whites are ahead of Newcastle United in the race and are willing to splash seven figures to get the dead done.
The report further stated that the Championship side are still working very hard to keep hold of their promising young talent.
Many would hard to believe that Hall is just 17, especially if someone would closely follow how he plays on the field.
Despite making only two appearances for the club in this concluding season, the teenager has shown what he is about.
Hall is a creative player who can play as a box-to-box or as an attacking midfielder. He can sit behind the two attackers and also play a deeper role to control the tempo of the game.
His main attribute is to create chances for the team. His under-18s coach Martyn Olorenshaw calls the player “explosive and dynamic”.
If he is to join Leeds at such a young age, it is likely that he won’t get a lot of game time ahead of the more experienced players.
However, you shouldn’t rule out his inclusion in domestic competitions, such as the Carabao Cup and the FA Cup which would be beneficial for him.
Also, Leeds have proven to be a great nursing venue for the youngsters all over the country and Hall would have an amazing chance to nurture his talent.
