LONDON (AP) — Chelsea has loaned out of one of its most talented academy prospects amid another transfer window of big spending by the Premier League club.Lewis Hall, an 18-year-old left back, joined Newcastle on Tuesday on a season-long loan deal that includes an obligation for the Saudi-controlled northeast club to make the transfer permanent based on performance-related criteria.Hall, a boyhood Newcastle fan, was named Chelsea’s academy player of the year for the 2022-23 season.

Here we are again.Just like last year, college football has a returning Heisman Trophy winner — this time, USC quarterback Caleb Williams — trying to join the sport’s most exclusive club: Two-time winners of the most prestigious player of the year award.Ohio State running back Archie Griffin stands alone, winning the Heisman in 1974 and ’75.In 2022, Alabama’s Bryce Young became the 11th returning winner since Griffin to be unable to complete the two-fer, undercut by injuries and a Crimson Tide offense that lacked the type of playmakers he had in 2021.Williams, like Young, won the award with a brilliant sophomore season.
