Even though he wasn’t a regular starter last season, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall won two trophies during his debut year as a Chelsea player.
Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, 26, slotted into the Chelsea squad pretty effortlessly last term as strong cover in central midfield.
The Englishman scored five goals and created four assists in 36 games across all competitions for the Blues, proving he has real quality to offer Enzo Maresca’s group. He certainly played his role in the club’s success of winning both the Conference League and Club World Cup, too.
Recent reports claimed that Chelsea haven’t transfer-listed Dewsbury-Hall this summer, but they could consider any transfer bids they receive for him.
Fulham hold talks with Chelsea about Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall
Transfer expert Graeme Bailey has exclusively told The Chelsea Chronicle that Fulham have now spoken with Chelsea to ask about signing Dewsbury-Hall.
Bailey said: “I am told that Fulham have made enquiries and had conversations with Chelsea – Fulham want loan with option, Chelsea like with most of their available players want a sale – a number of clubs have shown an interest to this point.”
Chelsea’s decision that they would rather sell Dewsbury-Hall than allow him to be loaned out feels like a smart one.
The box-to-box central midfielder definitely can contribute to the Blues group. At the same time, he’s the type of quality footballer that should perhaps be playing more regularly as he enters the prime years of his career.
Apparently, Chelsea would demand £30m for Dewsbury-Hall’s sale, which has put off potential suitors West Ham and Everton.
We could picture Dewsbury-Hall being a quality signing for Marco Silva’s Fulham side this summer, but will they be able to meet Chelsea’s demands?
Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall yet to fulfil his ambition
After joining Chelsea in the 2024 summer window, Dewsbury-Hall did share some personal ambitions.
Speaking in July 2024, Dewsbury-Hall admitted he dreams of playing for England. He also shared his goal to win trophies with the Blues, too.
While Dewsbury-Hall can tick off winning trophies already at Stamford Bridge, he’s yet to receive a first England call-up. Unfortunately, we struggle to see it happening while he’s filling the role of a squad player at Chelsea, even though he’s got bags of individual talent.
It may take a transfer move for Dewsbury-Hall to get international recognition, so perhaps it’s something for him to factor into any decision about his future.
