Lewis Hall, a defender for Newcastle United, was acquired from Chelsea in 2023 and has since garnered considerable acclaim at St James’ Park.Lewis Hall has drawn a comparison between Dan Burn’s professionalism and that of his erstwhile Chelsea teammate, Thiago Silva.

Considered one of the premier center-backs of this century, the Brazilian player had tenures at AC Milan and Paris Saint-Germain prior to his transfer to Stamford Bridge in 2020. Silva, who joined the Blues at the age of 36, quickly assumed the role of captain in West London.Newcastle United prospect Hall was mentored by Silva during his formative years at Chelsea.

Since his début under Thomas Tuchel three years ago, the 20-year-old has made a significant impression while advancing through the ranks.The former Chelsea prodigy has identified Burn as his paternal figure in Tyneside.

In an interview with Optus Sport, Hall drew a comparison between the native of Blyth and Silva, who is currently engaged in professional football within the Brazilian division.

“Each individual adopts a unique approach to training,” Hall stated. “Each individual experiences recovery in a unique manner, and various approaches may prove effective for different players.” Since my arrival here, I have observed that Dan Burn exemplifies a level of professionalism that is among the finest I have encountered, comparable to that of Thiago Silva during my tenure at Chelsea.

“I acknowledge that both individuals are highly experienced players; however, their professionalism is exemplary. This has served as a source of inspiration for me and has made me recognise that I must embody similar standards if I aspire to maintain optimal fitness.”
