Germany star shows he could be the perfect Lewis Hall replacement at Newcastle as full stats emerge
Nathaniel Brown has shown Newcastle United exactly why they should sign him as Germany beat Curacao on Sunday.
The left-back was a marauding presence for 73 minutes at the Houston Stadium on 14 June, scoring as Julian Nagelsmann's team beat the Caribbean side 7-1.
With Eintracht Frankfurt, the 22-year-old has established himself as one of the best left-backs in the Bundesliga and it wouldn't be surprising to see him make a move in the summer.
Considering the speculation around Lewis Hall's future at St James' Park, Newcastle should be looking to possibly sign Brown as a replacement.
While the English defender has been a key player for Eddie Howe at the Magpies, they surely wouldn't mind letting him leave for the right price.
The Tyneside outfit decided to cash in on Anthony Gordon and they could potentially do the same with Hall if a significant offer is tabled after finishing 12th in the Premier League.
Newcastle United set demands for Lewis Hall transfer
Hall joined Newcastle from Chelsea on an initial loan deal in 2023, which included an obligation to buy for £28million plus £7million in add-ons.
The 21-year-old has unsurprisingly caught the eyes of top teams with his performances in the 2025-26 campaign, making 30 Premier League appearances.
Mick Brown told Football Insider on 9 June that Manchester United would sign Hall only if his price tag at St James' Park went down.
While clubs are looking to tempt the Englishman away from the Magpies, they're expected to demand a "huge" fee to sanction his exit in the summer.
Nathaniel Brown game in numbers after Germany win vs Curacao
Brown scored his first goal and provided an assist as Germany dominated Curacao after an initial scare when Dick Advocaat's team equalised in the 21st minute.
As per Sofascore, the left-back completed three key passes, created one big chance, recorded three progressive carries and two shots, one of which was blocked.
Brown did show frailties defensively, losing one of his two tackles and five of his seven ground duels, while also committing two fouls and being dribbled past once, but Howe can certainly iron those out if the Magpies end up signing him.
