Football News Update: Chelsea Approach Leicester for Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall
In the latest development in the world of Football, Chelsea have made an approach to Leicester City regarding a potential move for midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, as reported by talkSPORT.
The 25-year-old Dewsbury-Hall played a pivotal role in Leicester’s promotion back to the Premier League last season, scoring 12 goals and providing 14 assists. His impressive performances have now caught the attention of the Chelsea management, who are keen to secure his services.
Dewsbury-Hall, who has been with Leicester since the age of eight, could be on the verge of a summer switch to West London. Chelsea are the latest club to express interest in the midfielder, who is valued at £35 million. The move would see Dewsbury-Hall reunite with new Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca, who previously worked with the player during his time at Leicester.
“This potential transfer comes as Brighton have also retained an interest in Dewsbury-Hall, following a failed move during the January transfer window.”
Dewsbury-Hall’s outstanding season was recognized as he was selected in the 2023/24 Championship Team of the Season and named the Foxes Supporters’ and Players’ Player of the Season. His 49 appearances under Maresca’s management during Leicester’s Championship-winning campaign have undoubtedly caught the eye of the new Chelsea boss.
Chelsea have already made moves in the summer transfer window, confirming the signings of centre-back Tosin Adarabioyo on a free transfer and agreeing a deal with Brazilian side Palmeiras for Estevao Willian, who will join next summer. The Blues are also reportedly interested in Nottingham Forest centre-back Murillo, as they look to strengthen their squad ahead of the upcoming Euro 2024 qualifiers, Champions League, and FIFA World Cup later this year.
Football enthusiasts will be keen to see how this potential transfer saga unfolds, as Chelsea aim to bolster their midfield options with the addition of the highly-rated Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall.
