Chelsea are reportedly interested in signing 25-year-old Leicester City midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall this summer.
According to the reliable David Ornstein, Chelsea have submitted an offer to sign Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, who is keen on the move. The Blues need to add more quality and depth in the middle of the park, and the Leicester City star should prove to be a quality acquisition.
The Englishman had 27 goal contributions for Leicester City last season as they immediately returned to the Premier League in the 2023/24 season. He could be a useful acquisition for Chelsea as well, with the interest justified. They also considered signing him last summer.
Chelsea had a mediocre season by their standards, and they will look to bounce back strongly next term. They need quality signings in order to get back to their former levels, and signing a productive midfielder could prove to be a wise decision.
The Leicester City midfielder showed his quality in the Championship with the Foxes, and he will look to make his mark in the Premier League now. Chelsea are one of the biggest clubs in the country, and the opportunity to play for them will be quite attractive.
It will be interesting to see if he can adapt quickly and hit the ground running at Stamford Bridge. Other high-profile clubs, including Tottenham Hotspur, have also shown interest in the Englishman.
The 25-year-old midfielder is entering the peak years of his career, and he will look to establish himself as an indispensable asset for the club. Dewsbury-Hall helped the Foxes win the Championship title last season, and he has previously won the Community Shield with them as well. Chelsea will provide him with the opportunity to push for major trophies as well.
Dewsbury-Hall would improve the Chelsea midfield
The midfielder is versatile enough to operate as a central midfielder, and attacking midfielder as well as a deep-lying playmaker. He will add creativity and control to the side. He can score goals consistently as well.
The 25-year-old has all the attributes to develop into a complete central midfielder, and Chelsea could nurture him into a top class Premier League player. The Englishman has a contract with the Foxes until 2027, and he is unlikely to be a cheap acquisition. Leicester City are under no pressure to sell him this summer, and they could look to demand a premium for him.
It will be interesting to see if Chelsea can secure an agreement with the newly promoted side. The Foxes will be hoping to establish themselves as Premier League regulars now, and they need to hold on to their best players in order for that to happen. Selling the 25-year-old will weaken them severely, and they will need to find a top class replacement first.
