Chelsea want him back at the club.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">According to Sports Boom, they are currently planning an ambitious move to bring the player back, and it remains to be seen whether they can convince Newcastle to do so. The Magpies will not want to sell the 21-year-old easily. He was an important player for them.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Meanwhile, Manchester United are also monitoring his situation closely. It will be interesting to see how the situation develops.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Chelsea need to properly replace Cucurella and signing one of the best young full-backs in the Premier League would be a wise move. The decision to sell Hall to Newcastle was a mistake and Chelsea are trying to rectify it. The young defender is on a long-term deal with Newcastle and will have to pay a premium to woo the Magpies.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Manchester United are also looking for a young player to replace Luke Shaw and have the resources to pay a premium. It will be interesting to see which of the two clubs can conclude a contract.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Hall could be attracted to the idea of \u200b\u200bjoining the biggest club in the country. Manchester United could offer him Champions League football next season, which could give him an advantage in the transfer race. Although Chelsea do not have European football on offer, Hall could be tempted to return to his former club and may feel he has unfinished business at the club.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Article End -->\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chelsea&#8217;s Moises Caicedo has left Manchester United&#8217;s Bruno Fernandes.
