“I want him here at Arsenal” – Arteta in shock move for 25-years-old Chelsea FLOP
According to sources, Arsenal is prepared to sign Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall from Chelsea.
After his lackluster tenure at Stamford Bridge thus far, it is believed that the Blues are now prepared to let go of the midfield player.
Chelsea reportedly paid €35.4 million (£30 million) for the 25-year-old during the summer. He played a significant role in Leicester’s return to the Premier League the previous season.
After his lackluster tenure at Stamford Bridge thus far, it is believed that the Blues are now prepared to let go of the midfield player.
Over the summer, Chelsea paid a reported €35.4 million (£30m) for the 25-year-old. He was a key member of Leicester’s promotion back to the Premier League last season.
Dewsbury-Hall excelled under boss Enzo Maresca and was reunited with the Italian following his move to Stamford Bridge, but he has failed to rekindle the winning spark under the coach and now could be allowed to leave.
CaughtOffside reports that “Dewsbury-Hall needs to be playing regularly” and the “West Londoners seem to feel Dewsbury-Hall is surplus to requirements, he has a number of clubs ready to offer him a way out.”
Arsenal did business with Chelsea over the summer as they brought in Raheem Sterling on loan, but there are several other clubs keen on the Englishman, including Leicester City, Fulham, Rangers, Tottenham Hotspur, Aston Villa, Newcastle United, Brighton & Hove Albion, Brentford and Manchester United.
As for Sterling, reports suggest that he has no plans to cut short his loan at Arsenal and seek more regular football at another club.
He has struggled for regular minutes since joining and his last start came in October. He has made 10 appearances for Arsenal but only four have those have been starts. Now his future is under question.
Mikel Arteta recently said of the situation. “He’s very good in the dressing room and is absolutely desperate to play.
“When he hasn’t started the games, 90 per cent of the subs that I make is related to saving minutes or because of injuries or avoiding injuries. It’s not tactical reasons.”
