Leeds United tipped to pounce for teenager star as Premier League rivals on notice

Leeds United look to be first in line to try and pry the services of teenager George Hall away from Championship side Birmingham City after he's fallen down the pecking order.

The 18-year-old is wanted by multiple Premier League clubs but the Whites are set to 'pounce' after a lack of game-time so far this season according to the Sun.

Hall has started just five of his 15 games this season under manager John Eustace and while he has contributed a goal and an assist, it seems as though he could look for a move away from St. Andrew's in the January transfer window.

It's believed that the main reason for him signing a new deal in the summer was the promise of regular game time but now that promise seems to have been broken, interest in the youngster from Premier League clubs has piqued.

Hall has eight appearances in the England youth system for the Under-18s, including finding goals and assists in their European Championship Qualifying campaign. After making midfield signings in the summer, it appears as though the Blues have alienated their star youngster enough to make him want a move to a bigger club.

Leeds have been noted for their use of young talent already this season after impressive performances from the likes of Wilfried Gnonto, Crysencio Summerville and Sam Greenwood.
