Chelsea is preparing to sell Spanish player Marc Cucurella during the summer, focusing on signing their former player Lewis Hall to strengthen the left side of the team, according to 'Fichajes'.

Chelsea is leading the competition with Manchester City and Arsenal to ensure Hall's return from Newcastle, following his impressive performances this season and his ability to play efficiently on both sides.

This deal aims to revitalize the left-back position, which has suffered from instability, and selling Cucurella will also reduce the wage burden and enhance the team's summer plans.

Although Chelsea is eager to complete the deal, Newcastle will not make Hall's departure easy after renewing his contract until June 2029, and the club's management is expected to demand around 70 million pounds.

Chelsea hopes that Hall's return will send a message of ambition and identity for the club, providing a talented young element capable of leading the left side and contributing to title competitions.
