Loan Deal with Mandatory Buy Option
Lewis Hall will be joining Newcastle United on loan with a mandatory buy option. The total value of the package, including add-ons, is £35 million. The loan will provide financial relief for Newcastle United and give the club time to assess Hall's play before deciding whether to make the deal permanent. There is a required buy option in the contract, so Newcastle United will have to purchase Hall when the loan ends. [caption id="attachment_8298" align="aligncenter" width="415"]

"Lewis is a very talented young player with a bright future. He's got all the attributes we're looking for in a left-back and I'm confident he'll be a valuable addition to our squad."
