Chelsea have agreed a £30m deal to sign Brighton target from Leicester

Chelsea have completed a deal to sign Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall from Leicester from under the noses of Brighton & Hove Albion.

Dewsbury-Hall played for the Championship-winning Foxes last season under manager Enzo Maresca, who moved to Stamford Bridge earlier this summer to replace Mauricio Pochettino.

Reports insist that Chelsea’s decision to move to Dewsbury-Hall is not directly related to Maresca, who has given his consent to such a transfer.

The Athletic report that Chelsea have agreed to pay a fee of around £30m to sign Dewsbury-Hall, who has agreed a contract until 2030 at Stamford Bridge.

Dewsbury-Hall, who rejected the chance to join Brighton & Hove Albion when Chelsea’s interest became known, is scheduled for a medical on Sunday.

Negotiations between Chelsea and Leicester also included the idea of ​​at least one player moving to the King Power Stadium in a separate deal.

David Datro Fofana, Cesare Casadei and even Armando Broja were all suggested as potential options for Leicester before news of the deal for Dewsbury-Hall broke.

telegraph say Leicester’s interest is in 18-year-old midfielder Michael Golding, who impressed at youth level for the Blues and made his Chelsea debut as a late substitute in the FA Cup third-round tie with Preston North End last season.

Chelsea have also agreed a deal to sign Barcelona forward Marc Guiu, while Boca Juniors centre-back Aaron Anselmino is also close to penning a deal that would see him stay with the Argentine squad for at least the next six months until the end of Boca’s domestic campaign.
