Everton are not interested in considering a sale of Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall amid Tottenham’s interest, as they see him as a key part of their plans.
According to Football Insider, Everton have no interest in considering a sale of Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall ahead of the summer. The English midfielder has continued to garner big interest following some impressive displays with the Toffees since his summer arrival from Chelsea, and the Merseysiders view him as a big part of their future.
Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall took no time in establishing himself as a key part of this Everton side, owing to some impressive and mature performances. There were some doubts following his below-par spell with Chelsea after leaving Leicester City, but it appears the initial £24 million that the Toffees spent was worth the effort.
Everton have already seen speculation in the media surrounding Dewsbury-Hall, with Tottenham one of those keen on the midfielder. Spurs are expected to make some smart signings that help them build on a good enough squad that could consistently challenge for a top-four place next season at the very least.
The North Londoners are in a good position to pay a reasonable fee for the £24 million Everton star, but at the moment, it appears Dewsbury-Hall is not for sale. The Toffees are set to stick by their stance as they view the midfielder as a key part of their plans moving forward and are not thinking about parting ways, even though his exit could fetch them a big fee.
Spurs are still expected to make enquiries for the midfielder, but they might not be alone in the race for the Englishman. Manchester City have also shown interest, as per recent reports, while others are also set to make their presence felt if the Toffees indicate they could be persuaded to sell Dewsbury-Hall.
Does Dewsbury-Hall’s future depend on Jack Grealish?
The report also emphasises that despite Everton closing the doors on a potential sale of Dewsbury-Hall, the midfielder’s future might be linked with that of Jack Grealish. Everton are hoping to sign Grealish in a cut-price deal instead of paying the £50 million stipulated in the purchase option they have in his loan deal.
Should Everton fail in their efforts to land Grealish at the price they deem to be reasonable, and sign him for the £50 million purchase option, then they might consider selling Dewsbury-Hall. However, for now, the former Chelsea midfielder is not for sale, with the club planning on their future with the 27-year-old in the squad.
