Birmingham City manager John Eustace would love to keep hold of George Hall following reports the young midfielder could move to Leeds United.

A recent report by TeamTALK suggested Jesse Marsch’s Whites are ‘closing in’ on signing Hall as they look to add the 18-year-old to their impressive youth academy.

However, issuing a desperate plea to the talented teenager, manager Eustace, who has spoken out recently, said: “Everyone knows what I think of George Hall.

“He’s one of the top young players in the country, especially in the Championship. And I certainly don’t want George to go.”

Since being promoted to the Blues’ senior first-team back in the summer, Hall has gone on to feature in 20 matches, in all competitions, directly contributing to two goals along the way.
