Newcastle United head coach Matthias Jaissle revealed on Thursday that the club is working toward a new contract for defender Lewis Hall. The announcement follows a summer of personnel changes at Newcastle, which included the departures of Bruno Guimaraes, Sandro Tonali, and Anthony Gordon. Jaissle rejected a potential move for Hall when Manchester United expressed interest last month, stating there was no chance for a deal. The 22-year-old recently provided the assist for Joe Willock’s goal in a 1-0 Carabao Cup victory over Millwall. Hall continues to push for an England squad return after missing the World Cup earlier this year. Jaissle praised the defender’s ability to adapt to the team's tactical identity.

"Matthias Jaissle could not have been clearer last month. When Manchester United legend Peter Schmeichel informed him that his former side were looking at Lewis Hall, the Newcastle United head coach uttered two simple words in response. Newcastle sold Bruno Guimaraes, Sandro Tonali and Anthony Gordon during a summer of huge change, but the club were unequivocal about Hall.
