Liverpool are reportedly setting their sights on Newcastle United’s Lewis Hall as a priority left-back target this summer, according to Caught Offside — but they’ll need to fight off serious competition to land him.
Why Liverpool Need a New Left-Back
The left-back situation at Anfield is far from settled. Mílos Kerkez has shown promise since arriving from Bournemouth, but inconsistency has plagued his first season. Andrew Robertson, once one of the best in the business, is clearly past his peak and looks set to depart as a free agent come July. Meanwhile, Kostas Tsimikas remains on loan at Roma with no obvious future at the club.
Arne Slot needs a reliable, long-term solution — and Hall fits the bill perfectly.
Hall’s Stock Is Rising Fast
The 22-year-old turned heads with a composed display against Barcelona last week, and Liverpool have taken note. The Reds are expected to monitor him closely before making a move in the summer window.
Hall has quietly been one of Newcastle’s standout performers this season, contributing two goal contributions and four clean sheets, and is now firmly in the conversation for England’s starting spot at the 2026 World Cup.
The £70m Problem
Don’t expect Newcastle to roll over. The Magpies have no intention of selling, with Hall contracted until 2029 and a fresh deal reportedly in the works. Should they be forced to sell, however, the asking price is a steep £70 million.
Liverpool also face competition from Arsenal, Manchester City, RB Leipzig, and Borussia Dortmund — making this one of the most hotly contested transfers of the upcoming window.
