Aston Villa ahead of Man United in the race for Chelsea’s Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall – Man United News And Transfer News

1

Manchester United’s new head coach Ruben Amorim has already declared to the club’s co-owners that his system requires players who can handle high intensity.

And that means plenty of big-name stars could be on their way with Christian Eriksen reportedly set to be cut loose as early as January despite his impressive form this season.

And Casemiro is another player who is unlikely to prolong his stay in Manchester. It is clear that the Portuguese wants young and hungry players to play in his 3-4-3 system.

Recently, The Peoples Person relayed that Chelsea’s Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall could be on the move after failing to impress at Stamford Bridge since his summer move from Leicester City.

Dewsbury-Hall future

The Englishman was a United target in the summer as well but Enzo Maresca decided to take him from the King Power to London and the 26-year-old was expected to be a pivotal cog in Maresca’s plans.

However, Dewsbury-Hall has not managed a single start in the Premier League so far, seeing a total of 43 minutes of action in the English top-flight.

He has made 10 appearances in all competitions, scoring once. Chelsea fans will not be too pleased to see him leave so soon after the manager brought him to the club.

Apart from the 20-time English league champions, Tottenham Hotspur were also said to be eyeing the Chelsea ace but as relayed by Teamtalk, Aston Villa have jumped the queue and have opened talks with the player’s camp.

Villa are hoping to buy the midfielder and the Blues are open to the sale so long as they receive the full £30 million they paid the Foxes in the summer.

Villa in front

For now, the Villans are looking to pay a total of £18.2 million, with £12.4 million upfront plus another £5.8 million in potential add-ons.

If Chelsea stick to their guns regarding the price, this could allow United and Spurs to once again get back in the transfer race with a loan approach considered most likely.

Dewsbury-Hall can play all across the midfield and even out wide, and would be a fantastic and underrated addition for Amorim’s system.

Last season, he scored 12 times while registering 15 assists in the Championship, as the Foxes climbed back up to the Premier League.

Whether United will offer a straight loan deal or whether they will include an option or obligation to buy remains to be seen.
