Chelsea have shown interest in signing Leicester City midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall this summer, with new manager Enzo Maresca keen to strengthen the squad. Dewsbury-Hall was instrumental in Leicester’s Championship-winning campaign, scoring 12 goals and providing 15 assists. According to The Athletic, Chelsea has contacted Leicester about a potential transfer, and Dewsbury-Hall is reportedly interested in a move to Stamford Bridge.

Maresca, who guided Leicester to Premier League promotion, appears eager to reunite with the 25-year-old midfielder, who fits his style of play for the 2024/25 season. Dewsbury-Hall’s contract with Leicester runs until 2027, so he won’t come at a modest fee. With his passing ability, work rate, and dynamism, Dewsbury-Hall would complement Chelsea’s midfield and add depth, particularly after last season’s injuries to key players.
