Birmingham City prospect George Hall, 17, has signed his first professional contract at St Andrews amid reports linking him with more than one Premier League side.
Leeds United, Newcastle United, Southampton and Brighton were all mentioned but the attacking midfielder has not had his head turned by the rumours.
Hall has made eight appearances between Birmingham’s Under 23s and Under 18s teams this season, scoring once for each side.
His form saw him called to the England Under 18s national squad in October and for their fixture away to the Netherlands.
