In a significant development in the summer transfer market, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall has reportedly expressed his desire to leave Leicester City only for Chelsea, according to Daily Mail.

The 25-year-old midfielder, who had an impressive season scoring 12 league goals, is keen to reunite with his former boss Enzo Maresca, now the head coach at Chelsea.

Chelsea have made initial contact with Leicester City regarding Dewsbury-Hall’s potential transfer, but they have yet to submit a formal offer.

Leicester value the talented midfielder at around £40 million, a price that reflects his pivotal role in their recent campaigns.

Despite interest from Brentford and Brighton, Dewsbury-Hall’s preference for Chelsea is clear. His inclination stems from his successful stint under Maresca’s management, who is now looking to bolster Chelsea’s squad with players that fit his tactical vision.

Maresca believes Dewsbury-Hall’s attributes are perfectly suited to the style of football he wants to implement at Stamford Bridge.
