Newcastle United’s Ferrari full-backs heading in opposite directions – and both are worrying

Chronicle Live columnist John Gibson expresses growing concern over the differing futures of Newcastle United full-backs Lewis Hall and Tino Livramento. While Gibson describes both players as exceptionally talented, he warns that poor team form under manager Matthias Jaissle could push Hall toward seeking a transfer. Meanwhile, Livramento continues to face persistent career-threatening fitness setbacks.

Gibson argues that Newcastle must improve to convince Hall to remain at the club following recent departures of key stars. Regarding Livramento, who previously signed for an initial £32m plus £8m in add-ons, Gibson points to recurring injury struggles that reportedly scuppered a Manchester City move and led to the signing of Amar Dedic.
