Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall’s struggles at Chelsea continue, with reports suggesting he was never part of manager Enzo Maresca’s plans.
Despite being a key player under Maresca at Leicester City, the Chelsea boss reportedly had no intention of relying on the midfielder at Stamford Bridge.
According to journalist Simon Phillips on his Si Phillips Talks Chelsea Substack, the decision to sign Dewsbury-Hall for £30m was made by the club, not the manager.

Phillips stated that the purchase has turned out to be a costly error, with Dewsbury-Hall managing only five Premier League appearances this season.
His limited role in the squad has raised questions, particularly when younger talents like Carney Chukwuemeka or Cesare Casadei could have filled the same position. Chelsea may now regret the investment, as Dewsbury-Hall has struggled to justify his hefty price tag.
