Chelsea midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall has been linked with a move away from the West London club in recent weeks.
Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall has struggled for regular game time since moving to Chelsea in a £30 million deal. The Englishman was a key player for Enzo Maresca during their time together at Leicester City, but he has not been able to hold down a regular starting spot under the Italian manager at Chelsea.
Naturally, there have been rumours regarding his future at the club, and a report from Give Me Sport has claimed that Maresca wants to keep Dewsbury-Hall at the club. Chelsea will only sell him if he submits a transfer request and forces an exit. It will be interesting to see how the situation develops.
The £30 million midfielder needs to play regularly at this stage of his career, and sitting on the bench at Chelsea is unlikely to benefit him. However, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall does not have a shortage of clubs pursuing his signature, with Arsenal among his prospective suitors.
West Ham keen on Dewsbury-Hall
West Ham United have been linked with a move for Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, and they could provide him with the platform he needs right now. They need to bring in more quality in the middle middle of the park, and the 26-year-old will add goals, creativity, and drive to the side.
Dewsbury-Hall has shown his quality in English football with the Foxes, and there is no doubt that he has the technical attributes to thrive in the Premier League as well. He needs more opportunities to showcase his qualities and leaving Chelsea in January would be ideal for him. It remains to be seen how the situation develops.
If Chelsea cannot promise him regular opportunities, they should look to let the player move on. It will be interesting to see if the English midfielder decides to submit a transfer request in the coming weeks.
Chelsea will hope to recoup the £30 million they paid for him, and it remains to be seen whether his suitors are ready to pay up. West Ham will probably look to sign him for a more reasonable price after his struggles at Chelsea. The Blues might have to cut their losses on the player eventually.
