Birmingham City midfielder George Hall has rejected the chance to sign for Everton, and is now set to sign a new contract.
According to Alan Nixon via his patreon, Hall had also attracted interest from Liverpool, Tottenham and West Ham, but is set to extend his stay at St Andrews with his current deal set to expire at the end of the season.
It is said Birmingham have turned down multiple bids but they stayed firm in their ‘belief’ that Hall is best to stay put.
It is good news that George hall is staying put
Hall is a 19-year-old midfielder, who broke into the first team in the 21/22 season, before becoming a regular last season, going on to make 30 appearances, starting 13 of those games. He scored twice, setting up another.
He is also an England under-19 international, scoring two goals in six games for his nation.
Birmingham will be pleased that they have managed to keep hold of the highly rated midfielder, being one of many Birmingham players to have broken into the first team squad in the last few years and go on to be coke a regular at that.
Birmingham are known for bringing through excellent centre midfielders, none more so than Jude Bellingham, with the Blues famously retiring his shirt number when he left for Borussia Dortmund for £25 million. He joined Real Madrid this summer and has started for them in La Liga.
Blues’ did sell his younger brother Jude a Bellingham this summer however, joining fellow Championshio side Sunderland.
Birmingham may be in some late transfer drama as we head towards the end of the window, with Oliver Burke potentially coming in from Werder Bremen. They ah e also been linked with American international Reggie Cannon and Emmanuel Aiwu.
