€35m midfielder’s rapid exit may confirm secret Leicester deal conspiracy theories

By SuperFrank -

The idea that Chelsea might be interested in selling Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall in January seems ridiculous – they only just bought him in the summer, and he’s barely had a sniff since.

That’s despite having come from new manager Enzo Maresca’s old team Leicester. Most expected him to be a regular right away because of his familiarity with the methods and tactics of the Italian coach – instead he’s barely featured, and has even struggled to get into the B team used in the cups and Conference League this season.

Strange purchase and an even stranger sale point to truth in “package deal” theories

Chelsea – and especially the manager – knew exactly what they were getting for their €35m in the summer, and yet have never shown the slightest interest in using him. It’s not like he’s had a first team shot and failed -he’s just never had a sniff.

The whole thing is rather suspicious, and potentially confirms the theory that the signing was only ever a way to allow us to secure Maresca. We’re not sure exactly how the logic works, given we had to buy out the coach’s contract from Leicester anyway. But it seems the idea was that we had to buy the player as part of the package, which of course helps the Foxes’ PSR numbers.
