Chelsea have reportedly shown interest in signing Leicester City midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall this summer. With new manager Enzo Maresca taking charge, Chelsea is intensifying their transfer plans. Maresca, who led Leicester City to Premier League promotion, has replaced Mauricio Pochettino at Stamford Bridge and aims to solidify his squad.
Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall emerged as a key player in Leicester City’s Championship-winning campaign last season, making 49 appearances, scoring 12 goals, and providing 15 assists. According to The Athletic, Chelsea has contacted Leicester City about a potential transfer for Dewsbury-Hall. Maresca appears keen to reunite with the 25-year-old at Chelsea, as the midfielder fits the style of play Maresca plans to implement in the 2024/25 season. Dewsbury-Hall’s contract with Leicester runs until 2027, meaning he won’t come at a modest fee. Reports suggest that Dewsbury-Hall is interested in a move to Chelsea if he decides to leave Leicester this summer.
It’s not surprising that Maresca is looking to bring in players from his former club. Dewsbury-Hall was one of Leicester’s standout performers and has attracted interest from other clubs, including Brighton and Hove Albion. At 25, he is approaching the peak of his career and is potentially ready to join one of the Premier League’s top clubs. His previous Premier League experience could help him adjust quickly if he moves to Chelsea. Dewsbury-Hall’s passing ability, work rate, and dynamism would complement players like Moises Caicedo and Enzo Fernandez, adding quality depth to Chelsea’s midfield, which struggled with injuries to Romeo Lavia, Carney Chukwuemeka, and Lesley Ugochukwu last season.
Chelsea must act quickly to finalize their interest in Dewsbury-Hhall and reach an agreement with Leicester City.
