Another bizarre and contrasting transfer move was completed this week that involves Chelsea and had everyone confused.
Lewis Hall joined Newcastle on loan, yet both clubs put out different versions of events (shock).
Chelsea claimed it’s a loan with Newcastle having an option to buy Hall at the end of the season, whereas Newcastle say it’s a loan with an obligation to buy.
Lewis Hall has left Chelsea and joined Newcastle United on loan for the season, with the Magpies holding an option to make that move permanent.

Newcastle United have signed defender Lewis Hall on a season-long loan from Chelsea. The deal includes an obligation for the Magpies to make the transfer permanent next summer based on performance-related criteria.

So what is it then? Well, Hall certainly doesn’t seem to think he is coming back to Chelsea judging by his goodbye message he posted on Instagram last night!!
