Could it be a record transfer? Dewsbury-Hall may leave Chelsea in search of playing time
Fulham have submitted an official bid to Chelsea for midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall. Previously, West Ham had also shown interest in the 26-year-old, but talks never progressed to a concrete stage.
According to talkSPORT, Chelsea are not eager to sell the player but are willing to consider offers exceeding £30 million—the amount the London club paid Leicester for him.
This could become a record-breaking deal for the Cottagers. Marco Silva's side have so far made just one signing—goalkeeper Benjamin Lecomte—but are now actively seeking to strengthen their midfield. Given Dewsbury-Hall's age and ambitions, the promise of regular minutes on the pitch could prove decisive.
Recall that Dewsbury-Hall joined Chelsea last summer, but barely featured last season—just 13 Premier League appearances, with only two starts.
