According to reports, Newcastle United and Chelsea have reached an agreement on a potential transfer fee for 18-year-old Lewis Hall.
The deal involves Newcastle paying £28m upfront and an additional £7m in add-ons to meet Chelsea’s asking price of £35m.
The agreement is also expected to include a sell-on clause for when Hall becomes a successful player.
It is unclear whether the move will be a permanent transfer or a loan with an obligation to transfer at the end of the season, but the fees involved will remain the same regardless of the structure.
The decision to agree on a transfer is reportedly driven by Chelsea’s need to balance their books and Hall’s desire for regular first-team football, which is unlikely to happen at Chelsea this season.
