Fans are unhappy Chelsea have set Lewis Hall’s asking price at £30millionGetty
Hall has attracted attention from Newcastle with his performances and Toon have submitted a bid.
Chelsea value the 18-year-old at around £30million, according to Sky Sports.
But many fans feel that is not enough for a young player with big potential.
One supporter said: “Lewis Hall is better than both Chilwell and Cucurella and apparently we want £30m. I’d want £70m to even start a conversation, he’s a supreme talent. This could ruin the window.”
Another added: “I was just saying the same thing who in their right sense of mind would decide to sell Lewis Hall for £30m?”
A third wrote: “Any price below £50m is a big loss.”
And another commented: “Allowing Lewis all to go on a permanent transfer has to be the worst decision this summer. I hope it’s just one of those rumors.”
Hall reportedly penned a new six-year deal at Chelsea with the option for a further year, after a remarkable first 12 senior appearances at Stamford Bridge.
