Birmingham City have no intention of cashing in on George Hall this summer amid speculation over a move to Leeds United, according to reports. The Athletic’s Phil Hay reported recently that the Whites were lining up deals for the 17-year-old as well as West Ham’s Sonny Perkins, but it is understood that the Midlands side will not listen to offers and instead will look to integrate the teenager into the first team.
Hall made two Championship appearances for Birmingham last season and was an unused substitute in a further four. The midfielder played 11 times for the under-23s, scoring three goals, as well as a further seven games for the under-18s with three goals and two assists - he has also featured four times for England under-18s.
The teenager was thought to be another addition to the raft of promising youth assets brought in over the last few seasons, joining the likes of Joe Gelhardt, Sam Greenwood, Lewis Bate and Crysencio Summerville in a young and exciting group.
