[Defender says he’s not in Pochettino’s plans and wants to leave Spurs]
Centre back wants another loan move or a permanent deal this summer.
You may not know a great deal about Grant Hall, the 23-year-old centre half who has been on Spurs’ books since 2012.
Hall arrived from Brighton as a promising youngster in summer 2012 and captained Spurs’ U21s to the League Final in his debut season. Since then, bad luck and bad loan moves have hindered his progress and he spent the first half of last season on loan at Birmingham, before following Lee Clark, the manager who took him to St. Andrews’, to Blackpool. He couldn’t halt the Tangerines well-documented slide to League One and now Hall is back at Spurs and training with the development squad.
With Milos Veljkovic and Cameron Carter-Vickers impressing in the U20 World Cup this summer, there’s no guarantee Hall could even command a place in the U21 team this season, and he says he wants to leave Spurs.
“I’m fully fit, back in training and hungry to play,” Hall told the official site.
“I need to get settled at a club and settled off the pitch as well.
“I wasn’t here when the gaffer came in and I haven’t been around the club so it’s understandable that I’m not really in his plans. I just want to play, so I’m looking for a loan or permanent move.
“Playing games is key for me. I’ve another year here at Spurs but I don’t want to be sitting around. I’m 23 and I need to be playing and taking my career to the next level.
“The loan to Blackpool came up straight away in January and I didn’t want to wait, it was the chance to play football with the same manager who took me to Birmingham, so I thought ‘why not?’ as it was regular games in the Championship. It was good in that aspect but a tough place to be at the time.
“I say to the younger lads at Spurs, you get everything here and when you go out on loan it’s a reality check. There is nothing like this facility (Hotspur Way) when you go out on loan but it makes you stronger as a player and person to experience that. It’s incredible here and everything is done properly.
“Looking back now, it was all valuable experience last season and I’m determined to use that to good effect going forward.”
