Leeds United remain locked in talks with Birmingham City for midfielder George Hall.

Hall, described as a 'really exciting' player, was linked with a summer move to Elland Road back in March.

The 18-year-old first caught the eye playing for England at youth level last November, with reports recently suggesting the Whites had firmed up their interest and were willing to make a seven-figure offer.

Capable of playing anywhere in midfield and even in attack, Phil Hay has even said that Leeds are lining up moves for both Hall and West Ham’s Sonny Perkins.

The Latest: ‘Remain in talks’

MOT Leeds News relayed an update regarding Leeds from Saturday’s print edition of The Daily Mail.

They claimed that the Whites ‘remain in talks’ with Birmingham for Hall, have discussed a move for PSG striker Arnaud Kalimuendo and still want to sign Perkins.

The Verdict: Just what the U23s need?

Hall played as a central and attacking midfielder, on the wing and as a centre-forward last season, so would offer plenty of versatility in Yorkshire.  You’d expect that he’d initially link up with the U23s at Thorp Arch, who are fairly short of central midfield options.

One of the key midfielders for the U23s last season was Lewis Bate, who is expected to attract loan interest this summer, so Hall could be the perfect addition as Leeds continue to target the best young players in the country as well as bolstering their first-team squad with three additions so far.
