Chelsea to protect their latest young talent

Chelsea are planning for next season and one of their aims is to sign up the latest young talent found by Graham Potter: Lewis Hall. According to 'Football Insider', the Stamford Bridge board are going to draw up a contract for the 18 year old star.

The deal would be a reward for the midfielder's recent performances, who has already played seven games. Five in the Premier League - the last starting against Liverpool at Anfield - and the other two in the FA and EFL Cups against Manchester City.

Lewis Hall's contract runs out in June 2025, which means a new contract would act more as a pay-rise. For now, no numbers are too high for the Blues.

His first call-up with the first team was against Arsenal, although he didn't play. He made his debut in Newcastle's 1-0 win over the London side at St James' Park.
