Palace closing deal for Chelsea defender Lewis Hall

Premier League side Crystal Palace are set to secure a season-long loan deal for Chelsea defender Lewis Hall.

The 18-year-old is ready to sign on the dotted line and play a starring role in the Premier League this season.

Per The Mail, the left-back will get a chance to compete with Tyrick Mitchell for a starting spot at Palace.

Hall is highly rated at Chelsea, but knows his chances of getting regular game time at Stamford Bridge are limited.

The England Under-21 star will be following in the footsteps of Blues teammate Conor Gallagher.

The latter also moved to Palace two seasons ago and thrived as a regular starter under Roy Hodsgon.
