I forkant av sommerens transfervindu ble det påpekt et par unggutter som Leeds ville ha til U21-laget: Sonny Perkins (West Ham) og George Hall (Birmingham).
Perkins kom, Hall ble det ingenting av.
Men ifølge rykteflommen har Leeds aldri gitt opp, og mange tror han kommer i dette vinduet.

Hall then started to appear on the national stage when he and his Year 8 football team at St Bede's Catholic Middle School in Redditch won the English School's Football Association Under-13s School Cup after he managed to score the second in a 2-0 win in the final.
After appearances for the Blues' Under-18s side in the FA Youth Cup in 2020, he was promoted to the Under-23s where he played 12 matches in the Premier League 2 across 2021 and 2022 while also doing duties in the Under-18s Premier League.
That season, he managed six goals and two assist across 20 appearances in all competitions and was given two Championship appearances - both in 2-1 losses to Queens Park Rangers and Blackburn Rovers.
Now, he's gone straight into the senior side, and has had a smattering of substitute performances including coming on in the final 12 minutes and finding the assist in a 1-1 draw against table-toppers Burnley in October.
He's also made appearances for the Three Lions Under-19s squad in their qualification campaign for the UEFA Euro U-19 Championship, scoring against Denmark U-19s in a 4-2 win while grabbing himself an assist in a 2-0 win over Montenegro.
