Chelsea have submitted numerous offers to take MLS prodigy Julian Hall on loan, with other clubs also keen on the 15-year-old winger.
According to 90min, Chelsea have made multiple offers to New York Red Bulls to take their 15-year-old winger Julian Hall on trial. The Blues weigh up a permanent view if all goes to plan, with other clubs like Tottenham, Liverpool and Manchester United also tracking his progress.
The MLS continues to produce talents deemed worthy enough for European and English clubs. The transfer market suggests that some recent moves from the US to the continent have proved the league has the credibility to produce notable talents.
The New York Red Bulls are coming under increasing pressure to decide on the future of their rising star, Julian Hall. The 15-year-old winger became the second-youngest player to play in the MLS, making his debut against Chicago Fire, and has since garnered interest from English and other European giants.
Tottenham, Liverpool and Manchester United are among those keeping a firm eye on his developments. Scouts have regularly watched the 15-year-old winger in action for the New York Red Bulls. But so far, no contacts have been made to take the youngster away from the side.
Manchester United, Chelsea and Real Madrid have been tracking Hall for a considerable period, with approaches expected to come in in the future. The Blues have taken the next steps and made multiple offers to take the 15-year-old winger on trial.
Chelsea are impressed by the player and would like to sign him permanently if the trial goes to plan. The move seems in line with their owners’ ambitions to build young squads for the future. For instance, they are also keen on Brazilian talent Gabriel Moscardo from Corinthians, among other stars in South America.
Chelsea recently signed Djorde Petrovic from the MLS and may have good connections in the US to bring in more players. Their pursuit of Hall may lead to some blocks, as the Red Bulls hierarchy does want to keep the player and develop him for a European adventure later. But the pressure from Liverpool, Manchester United, and Tottenham keeps the equation enticing.
Their plan shows they would like Hall to sign for Red Bull Salzburg when he turns 18 and then make the grade up the RB Leipzig in the future. While Chelsea are keen alongside those other teams, they may find it difficult to convince the Red Bulls hierarchy about taking the 15-year-old winger, even on trial.
