Exclusive: Leicester City plot sensational Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall return

 

Leicester City could make a sensational move to re-sign Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall on loan from Chelsea in January, sources have told Football Insider.

 

The midfielder joined the Blues from Leicester in July, but they have been alerted to his availability and are expected to explore the potential of a return.

 

Football Insider revealed on 7 December that Chelsea have made the 26-year-old available for transfer in January, just months after his arrival from the King Power.

 

However, they are set to demand at least the £30million fee they paid to sign him to let him leave on a permanent deal, forcing the Foxes to explore a potential loan.

Dewsbury-Hall was a crucial part of the side which saw Leicester promoted from the Championship at the first time of asking last season.

 

His performances in the Championship earned him a big-money move to Stamford Bridge, but he has since failed to make an impact.

 

As a result, the Foxes are interested in providing a potential lifeline for the midfielder to establish himself as a regular Premier League player in the remainder of the season.

 

Since his move to Chelsea, Dewsbury-Hall has played just 13 times across all competitions and was an unused substitute once again for the 4-3 win over Tottenham on Sunday.

 

He has averaged just 52 minutes per game, with all seven of his starts having come in domestic and European cup competitions rather than the Premier League.

 

The midfielder was among a number of players all-but excluded from Enzo Maresca’s plans, despite his success in his Leicester side, and is now keen to move on.

A chance to play more regular first-team football is thought to be an appealing prospect for him, and he will assess his options in the transfer window.

 

Leicester, meanwhile, struggled to find a suitable replacement for their star man after his departure and could now bring him back to fill the void he left.

 

Former Man United chief scout Mick Brown told Football Insider in November that Premier League clubs are lining up to sign Dewsbury-Hall in January.

 

Aston Villa are though to be among the interested clubs and are keeping a close eye on his situation, and will provide competition to Leicester’s effort.

As much as I’d love to see him back, I just don’t think he’s actually worth that much money. 
 

Any loan deal would come with a big fee and with Bouba seemingly reformed I just don’t think it’s needed. 

If we’re going after ex players then it’s Barnes please.

Absolutely nobody is going to pay them £30mill for KDH.  I wonder if he'll spend his entire Chelsea career being loaned out.

 

We have more pressing areas of concern now though and we've already got a packed midfield.  He's on about 80kpw now too apparently.

Football Insider Exsclusive alert. This website is utter Shite. 
 

The idea that KDH will want to move / a loan and back to Leicester isn’t beyond the realm of reality. 
 

Imagine the club may have other positions they want to prioritise.

The whole thing is murky… Not convinced Chelsea wanted or needed him. Not convinced we wanted Golding. Looks like a behind the scenes deal with A few other factors involved to me. Wouldn’t be surprised to see him back at all at some point in some capacity.

Totally agree. Almost appears to be an agreement they came to as part of the Enzo compensation fee to find crafty way to assist with FFP on both sides with homegrown players providing "pure profit" etc.

 

Reminds me of when we made an unrealistic move for Nzonzi from Stoke all those years ago in 2015 who was on the way to Sevilla. It was probably a gentleman's agreement made as part of the Huth transfer for us to bid for Nzonzi to increase his value as Sevilla then raised their bid to match our higher bid.

There was a reason we sold him for £30m and it wasn't because we've always got £30m spare if we ever want him back.

We could buy him back for 30m quite easily 

But the premier league wouldn't  allow it 

 

I assume they would just about accept a loan deal

I never wanted him to leave but if you take the emotion out of it then our

priorities should be defence and an attacking winger.

This 100%

What do you mean the Premier League wouldn't allow it?  They wouldn't have a choice.

Sell a player for 30m to pass psr

buy him back within six months and spread that over five years 

 

they wouldn’t allow it.  Well they couldn’t stop it but we’d be charged and sanctioned unless we agreed to take the income off 23/24 psr

Villa sold Archer to Sheffield Utd and bought him back the following summer.  Unless there's some abstract rule that says it can't be done in January rather than the following summer window then there's already precedent set. They've got no say in it.

Posted

The semi-realistic ideal attacking midfield options by the end of the summer window: 
 

AM: KDH and El Khannouss 

RW: New starter, Ayew, ease Fatawu back from injury, loan McAteer out

LW: Barnes and Mavididi

Was always going to be the way. He was never a player that was good enough for a top 6 team.


Chelsea are a top 4 team on paper, KDH is good enough to play for a top 8 team the likes of Brighton / Newcastle if they were interested would be a good fit.

Always really liked KDH.

 

I think as many others have said - Playing for a top 4 club is probably a bit beyond him, but he's good enough to have a really good premier league career IMO.

 

Hope he doesn't waste too much time at Chelsea.
