Not just Gordon: Bayern have their sights set on the next England star | OneFootball

FC Bayern are continuing to work intensively on their squad for the coming season. While Anthony Gordon has been the player of choice for the offense for weeks, the Munich club have apparently set their sights on another professional from Newcastle United

As the TEAMTalk portal reports, the German record champions are looking closely at Lewis Hall. The 21-year-old is regarded as one of the most exciting talents at full-back in England and has developed excellently at Newcastle in recent months

Bayern are currently keeping a close eye on the market, particularly at full-back

A new player at right-back or left-back is not an absolute must, but those responsible want to be prepared should an attractive opportunity arise. Lewis Hall obviously fits this profile perfectly

The Englishman not only impresses with his dynamism and technique, but also with his enormous flexibility. Hall is a modern full-back who is characterized by his strong playmaking ability

Thanks to his technical ability, the left-footer can not only be deployed on the left side of defense, but can also operate in central midfield without any problems

It is precisely this versatility that should make him particularly interesting internally at FC Bayern. Vincent Kompany is known to be a big fan of flexible player profiles

However, Bayern are apparently not alone in their interest: Manchester United have also been monitoring the England U21 international for some time, according to the report

However, the Red Devils are reportedly still unsure whether they are actually preparing a concrete offer, with United’s future coaching decision apparently also playing a role

Newcastle demand high transfer fee

However, a potential transfer is likely to be anything but cheap. Newcastle are aware of the enormous potential of their youngster and are likely to make correspondingly high demands

Back in 2024, the Magpies paid Chelsea FC almost €30 million to sign Hall permanently. Since then, the Englishman’s market value has increased and is currently estimated at €35 million. However, Newcastle are said to be demanding significantly more.
