His performances have not only elevated his status within Eddie Howe\u2019s side but also placed him firmly on the radar of clubs seeking reinforcements ahead of the summer transfer window.<\/p>\n<p>Reports suggest <em><strong>ARSENAL<\/strong><\/em>  are closely tracking Hall\u2019s development, although no formal bid has yet been made. The north London club are understood to be assessing options at left-back as they prepare for another title push and a return to Champions League competition next season.<\/p>\n<p>Hall\u2019s rise has been particularly notable in recent months, with the England international delivering a series of high-level displays, including an impressive Champions League performance against Barcelona that drew widespread acclaim.<\/p>\n<p>His form has led to glowing endorsements from within the game, with Redknapp among those to single him out as one of the elite players in his position, he told BetVictor: \u2018Lewis Hall is currently one of the best left-backs in world football.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018What a week he\u2019s had! He kept Lamine Yamal very quiet and then cruised it back at Stamford Bridge. Right now, the left-back spot for England looks like it will be his to lose.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>The defender\u2019s trajectory has also been highlighted by Newcastle captain Bruno Guimaraes, who recently described Hall as \u201cthe best in the world\u201d following a standout display in Europe, further fuelling interest from rival clubs.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the mounting speculation, Newcastle are believed to be reluctant to sanction a sale. The club view Hall as a cornerstone of their long-term project and are reportedly prepared to demand a fee in excess of \u20ac80 million should any suitor make a formal approach.<\/p>\n<p>For <em><strong>ARSENAL<\/strong><\/em>any potential move would likely depend on both financial considerations and Newcastle\u2019s willingness to negotiate. Manager Mikel Arteta is known to favour technically proficient defenders capable of contributing in possession, a profile that aligns closely with Hall\u2019s strengths.<\/p>\n<p>Hall\u2019s development since his departure from Chelsea has also become a talking point, with the defender now regarded as a leading contender for England\u2019s left-back role ahead of upcoming international tournaments.<\/p>\n<p>While the transfer window remains months away, the growing interest in Hall underscores his rising reputation within European football. Whether Arsenal follow through with a formal offer remains to be seen, but Newcastle\u2019s stance suggests any deal would be complex.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>MORE ARSENAL NEWS AND GOSSIP \u2013 <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Latest: <strong>Sorry Chelsea: \u00a3130M star wants Arteta link-up and Arsenal move<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Most Read:\u00a0Mikel Arteta green light for \u00a3250k-a-week star LEAVE Arsenal \u2013 Dowman plans made<\/p>\n<p>Must Check Out: <strong>Arteta green light \u00a360M star leave \u2013 Arsenal can sign worldie for \u00a3130m \u2013 Agent tells Arsenal \u00a3100M target wants move<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>LOVE ARSENAL?
