Chelsea ‘want shock move for Leicester’s Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall’ but Premier League rivals ‘have agreed swap deal’

CHELSEA have contacted Leicester about signing Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, transfer reports say.

Dewsbury-Hall played under new head coach Enzo Maresca, who replaced Mauricio Pochettino earlier this summer.

According to The Athletic, no official offer has been made yet.

But the 25-year-old is believed to be only willing to leave his boyhood club if he were to be reunited with Maresca at Stamford Bridge.

His current contract with the Foxes runs until 2027, but Dewsbury-Hall is seen as an ideal fit for the style of football Chelsea want to play.

Dewsbury-Hall made 49 appearances in all competitions for Leicester last season, scoring 12 goals on their way to winning the Championship.

Brighton also held talks over signing Dewsbury-Hall in January – but a move never materialised.

And in a twist, Fabrizio Romano has reported that Brighton and Leicester have agreed a swap deal for Dewsbury-Hall and Jakub Moder.

Medicals were said to have been booked until Chelsea inquired about Dewsbury-Hall, leaving the deal up in the air.
