Everton and Liverpool have entered the race to sign Birmingham City youngster George Hall.
Despite being just 18 years old, Hall has become a regular for Birmingham City this season, playing 18 games including five starts.
Hall will undoubtedly be looking to follow in the footsteps of fellow academy graduate Jude Bellingham, who is now regarded as one of the best midfielders in Europe at the age of 19.
In a similar fashion to Bellingham, Hall is now attracting interest from big clubs, with Football Insider reporting that Everton and Liverpool have entered the race to secure his signature.
Leeds saw a bid rejected for Hall during the summer transfer window, and with Everton and Liverpool joining the race they may feel their chance has gone.
Birmingham are said to be looking to use the funds to sign Dion Sanderson from Wolves on a permanent deal, so they could be willing to let him go for the right price.
It looks set to be a competitive race to sign Hall in January, with the two Merseyside clubs surely desperate to get one over on their rivals.
The problem is English clubs always try to screw over lower league clubs and take their talent on the cheap. With Jude Bellingham Man Utd, Chelsea and Liverpool were unwilling to pay £10m while Dortmund paid £25m. Now they will reap the rewards of their investment just two years later. Leeds tried it with Hall at £1.5m, then £3m, now £3m+. With the hundreds of millions income from the premier league they could easily offer £10m and reward a club who has invested 10 years developing a player.
If any of them have 25 million to spend we might just think about it Do not bid anything less because you will be wasting your time Hall/Bellingham and James will all be top prem players in the next 3 years They are the future of are club THEY WILL NOT BE SOLD FOR PEANUTS KRO
I would love to think you’re right…
George Hall will be playing for the England u-21 next year and his value will sky rocket. The way John Eustace is giving Hall, Jobe and JJ regular game time means they will be regular starting players for us soon. They are our future and the vision needs to be long term instead of selling them. There is a reason why our team has 5 loan players playing every game and it’s because we don’t have enough players and the ones we have aren’t good enough. The loan players have done fantastic but in the end we are developing another teams player and they go back at the end of the season. The onus must be on strengthening the squad and I doubt the likes of Wolves or West Ham would be selling the likes of Sanderson or Longelo cheaply and neither should we.
Liverpool is the best they better win agents Manchester City
