NEWCASTLE ace Lewis Hall put together a man-of-the-match performance for England Under-21s and hinted he could be the one to solve Lee Carsley’s left-back problem.
The Three Lions have been crying out for a left-back since Euro 2024 when former manager Gareth Southgate only had Luke Shaw to call upon at a time when the Manchester United ace was still injured.

That means the seniors still need a natural full-back to cover the left flank.
Hall, 20, made a strong case on Monday when he helped the Young Lions beat Austria 4-1 in a friendly at Kenilworth Road.
The Newcastle ace produced two assists with a dominant display at the left wing.
The defender set up James McAtee in the 59th minute and Tom Fellows nine minutes before full-time with low crosses from the left.
England fans were left absolutely stunned as they insist they found the solution to the seniors’ biggest problem.
Some even went as far as to compare Hall to the legendary Ashley Cole.
One fan tweeted: “Baller. The best young left-back in the country.”

This fan said: “Class.”
And that one stated: “Hall will be one of the best left-backs in the world no question.”
