Kieran Drewsbury Hall free to join Newcastle United

It is up to Kieran Drewsbury-Hall if he wants to leave CHELSEA now that the January transfer window is open after failing to make an impact at Stamford Bridge during his brief spell at the club

The 25-year-old rose to prominence with the Foxes during their doomed 2022-23 Premier League season, but his efforts were ultimately futile in the fight against the drop.

Dewsbury-Hall remained loyal to Leicester over that summer transfer window, and with Enzo Maresca at the helm, the Englishman has enjoyed his most prolific season to date and helped get the club back to the Premier League.

But when CHELSEA made the decision to offer Enzo Maresca the chance to take over at Stamford Bridge, the Italian was desperate to make sure that the midfielder was also brought to London in a shock move.

However, the move to London has not worked out for the player, and he has barely featured for the club that worked so hard over the summer to get a transfer deal done.

While he has been given more opportunities in the Europa Conference League and the EFL Cup – he has frequently been left out of the Premier League squad in recent weeks and now looks set to leave the club.

Per the Daily Mail Newcastle are in search of a quality central midfielder as they look to bolster their squad in the January transfer window to add some more depth to the side. The Toon have kept the Blues midfield duo on their shortlist and could approach their London rivals soon.

Amid all the speculation that the midfielder is leaving the club, The Italian manager recently emphasized that the decision ultimately rests with Dewsbury-Hall and the club. He explained, “We don’t want one of our players to leave.

‘The problem is sometimes the question is more for them. If they say ‘You don’t want me to leave but I am not happy and want to play more’, in that case, we are not going to say ‘No, you have to stay’.

‘It’s a matter of an agreement between the club and the player. The only thing I can say is I am happy with Kiernan, then we will see.”
