Chelsea have reportedly sealed yet another new signing this summer.
It’s widely reported in the media that Leicester City midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, 25, has secured a move to Stamford Bridge.
Journalist Fabrizio Romano claimed via X on Monday that Dewsbury-Hall’s £30m transfer to Chelsea has all been signed.
On top of Dewsbury-Hall, Chelsea have already confirmed the signings of Tosin Adarabioyo, Marc Guiu, Omari Kellyman and Esteveo Willian (for 2025) this month.
Gabriel Agbonlahor reacts to Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall transfer
TalkSPORT pundit Gabriel Agbonlahor delivered a mixed verdict on Dewsbury-Hall joining Chelsea.
He’s questioned if the Blues really need him in their squad.
When discussing Dewsbury-Hall’s imminent move to Chelsea, Agbonlahor told talkSPORT (9:40am, 2 July): “He is a good player. I think Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall is better on the ball than Conor Gallagher.
“Conor Gallagher has got more of an engine, but I like the way he can score a goal as well, Dewsbury-Hall. He will make them runs in behind the striker as well. Good on the ball. Can make some tiny little passes.
“He is not a bad player, but they have got so much talent in that midfield, did they need him?”
Are Chelsea making a good signing?
It’s fair to point out that Chelsea do already have several central midfielders on their books.
However, Dewsbury-Hall does look like a really attractive option.
He’s had the benefit of spending the last year working under Blues head coach Enzo Maresca. In fact, he emerged a key player at Leicester under him.
Dewsbury-Hall it’s an all-action midfielder with a cultured left foot and superb physical attributes.
He ended up with 12 goals and 15 assists across all competitions last season for Leicester.
Overall, this transfer could end up being a really smart one by Chelsea, especially as the manager gets to grips with a new squad players.
