Chelsea set Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall asking price at £30m amid West Ham interest | OneFootball

Chelsea have set an asking price for Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall amid serious interest from Premier League rivals.

According to The Athletic, the Blues will consider bids of around £30 million for the midfielder.

The Blues are not pushing to sell Dewsbury-Hall, nor has he asked to leave the club. He still has four years left on his contract after joining the club from Leicester City for £30m last summer.

However, he has been forced to accept a secondary role in Enzo Maresca’s squad, so there’s a decent chance that he could leave this summer in search of regular first-team action.

Several clubs have reportedly made enquiries about the English midfielder, although Fulham and West Ham United are believed to be at the forefront.

Fulham have taken their interest one step further by making a formal approach for the 26-year-old.

Dewsbury-Hall enjoyed plenty of success with Maresca in the Championship, bagging 12 goals and 14 assists as the Foxes won the title.

However, their reunion in London hasn’t been as fruitful.

Dewsbury-Hall has struggled to make a lasting impact, starting just two Premier League games last season and playing a total of 259 minutes in the league.

Most of his playing time came in the Europa Conference League, but he played a key role in helping Chelsea win the title and complete their European set.

He played 13 times, tallying four goals and three assists. The midfielder featured 36 times across all competitions, notching five goals and four assists.

Despite failing to nail down a regular starting spot, Dewsbury-Hall is still valued highly. Chelsea will only consider permanent offers, and any deal would need to exceed the £30m they paid Leicester.

It is unclear if Fulham or West Ham will meet Chelsea’s asking price, but the Blues wouldn’t mind keeping Dewsbury-Hall for at least one more season.
