29/06/2024 Raymond 0

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.

Although not all of the responsibility can be placed solely on Burstow for his goal drought this season, many Sunderland supporters had higher expectations from the young forward on loan from Chelsea. Burstow, aged 20, progressed through the youth systems at Welling United and Maidstone United before making a move to Charlton Athletic in 2020. In his debut season in League One, he impressed by scoring six goals across all competitions, catching the attention of Chelsea.
