According to The Athletic, the Blues are closing in on a £30million swoop for Dewsbury-Hall.

He has agreed personal terms on a six-year contract.

Dewsbury-Hall were closing in on a move to Brighton earlier this week.

The Seagulls have agreed a deal worth around £25m plus Poland international Jakub Moder.
