Chelsea agree £30m deal to sign 25yo midfielder

Chelsea have reached an agreement with Leicester City to sign midfielder Kiernan Dewbury-Hall for £30 million, according to David Ornstein.

The west London giants have already signed Omari Kellyman from Aston Villa this month and they are also close to landing Barcelona's Marc Guiu.

The club are also advancing in their pursuit of Dewsbury-Hall. They recently agreed terms with the player and have now finalised a transfer fee.

The Blues will pay a fee in the region of £30m for the 25-year-old, who registered 12 goals and 15 assists for the Foxes in the last campaign.

Dewsbury-Hall has yet to prove his worth in the Premier League, but the Blues have decided to back manager Enzo Maresca with his signing.

Maresca was the Foxes' manager last season as they secured promotion from the Championship. Dewsbury-Hall was a top player for him.

The Italian has his faith in the young Englishman and it remains to be seen whether he can hit the ground running with the Blues next term.
