Chelsea, Hall\u2019s former club, have reportedly continued to track his development, while Arsenal and Man City are said to be impressed by his rapid improvement and technical ability.<\/p>\n<p>Both clubs prioritise full-backs who can contribute to possession-based systems, making Hall a natural fit for their tactical styles.<\/p>\n<p>Man United are also believed to be assessing long-term solutions at left-back.<\/p>\n<p>With Luke Shaw approaching the later stages of his career and injury concerns affecting squad stability in recent seasons, United are reportedly evaluating younger alternatives.<\/p>\n<p>Liverpool, meanwhile, are thought to have monitored Hall through their scouting network, particularly as the club continues reviewing defensive depth and planning for future

negotiations.<\/p>\n<p>Hall\u2019s contract reportedly runs until 2029, and crucially, there is no release clause, giving the club full control over his future.<\/p>\n<p>Any potential talks would begin at a figure in the region of \u00a350-55 million, though Newcastle would likely demand significantly more if multiple clubs entered a bidding contest.<\/p>\n<p>Despite ongoing interest, Newcastle\u2019s strategy appears focused on retaining key players while making adjustments elsewhere in the squad.<\/p>\n<p>Sources indicate that the club may look to generate funds through alternative player sales rather than sacrificing one of their most promising young talents.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Talks held: Arsenal &#038; Liverpool involved in race to sign versatile 26-year-old
