Walsall set to sign highly-rated Birmingham youngster on loan
Walsall are set to sign highly-rated Birmingham City winger George Hall on loan.
As first reported by ITV Central's Dan Salisbury-Jones, the 20-year-old will join the Saddlers to gain valuable minutes after an injury-hit campaign for the Blues last term.
Hall debuted for Birmingham aged just 17 in December 2021 and has scored twice in 40 appearances in the Championship.
Both of those goals came during a breakthrough season in 2022-23 which heralded 30 league outings in the second-tier.
The youngster, who has also scored twice in six caps for England under-19s, was later voted Birmingham's young player of the year in 2023.
Hall has previously attracted interest from the likes of Brighton, Leeds United, Newcastle United and Southampton.
A long-term hamstring injury reduced Hall to just nine appearances in all competitions last term. He will become Walsall's 10th signing of the summer transfer window.
