Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall Transfer from Chelsea to Leicester City
Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca could reportedly be ready to let struggling midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall seal a quick return to his former club Leicester City this January. Leicester have registered an interest in re-signing Dewsbury-Hall just a few months after selling him for £30m. Ruud van Nistelrooy recently took over as manager and he’s taken on a difficult job, so will surely need backing in the upcoming January transfer window.
Chelsea is open to offers for Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, who has found it challenging to secure a place in the main squad. Coach Enzo Maresca is considering allowing him to leave on loan in January, although his substantial salary poses a challenge to potential deals. Chelsea might need to cover a portion of his salary to finalize an agreement. Dewsbury-Hall, who joined Chelsea six months ago for 30 million pounds, could potentially return to Leicester, which has expressed interest in reacquiring him next month. Thus far, he has primarily participated in the Europa Conference League and with the reserve team. Maresca noted that Dewsbury-Hall initially struggled with a marginal role at Stamford Bridge, mentioning to the Daily Mail that at Leicester, Dewsbury-Hall was the most important player, whereas at Chelsea, he is just one of many. According to Maresca, it's normal for him to struggle initially, but he is improving, and Maresca is satisfied with his commitment.
Chelsea are reportedly prepared to sell Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall. Just six months after he left Leicester for £30million, the Foxes have expressed their interest in re-signing Dewsbury-Hall. Maresca acknowledged that the 26-year-old midfielder has found it challenging to accept that he isn’t a key player for the Blues. Chelsea is expected to seek to recoup their expenditure on Dewsbury-Hall, suggesting that bidding will likely need to start at £30million. A new report from The Mirror suggested that Chelsea would consider offers for him, although his substantial wages might pose a challenge for potential suitors.
