Leeds United are closing in on the signing of George Hall from Birmingham City, according to TEAMtalk.

The report published this afternoon has claimed that Leeds wanted to sign Hall from Birmingham in the summer of 2022.

The West Yorkshire club were unable to bring the 18-year-old to Elland Road at the time.

However, Leeds have retained their interest in the midfielder, and, according to the report, they could be able to secure his services now.

TEAMtalk have reported that Leeds are ready to make a bid for Hall and sign him in the January transfer window.

Leeds will reportedly beat competition from several Premier League clubs and are closing in on the signing of the youngster.

George Hall would be an exciting signing for Leeds

In our opinion, George Hall would be a very good and exciting signing for Leeds United in the January transfer window.

The teenager is one of the better players in his age group in the Championship, and he has the potential to take the next step and play in the Premier League.

Hall has made five starts and 13 substitute appearances in the Championship for Birmingham so far this season

The 18-year-old central midfielder has scored one goal and given one assist in those games.

Hall describes himself as “a box-to-box midfielder” who likes “to get forward and score and create goals”.

Birmingham coach Martyn Olorenshaw described the teenager as “a really exciting player” who “is explosive, dynamic and has the prowess to influence games”, as quoted on Birmingham’s official website in November 2021.
