'Possibly': Fulham could make a move to sign £30m Chelsea player – journalist
Today at 12:15 PM
Chelsea are set for yet another busy January transfer window.
Chelsea are never quiet when the transfer window is open, and this month, they have a lot of plates spinning.
Chelsea are looking for new signings. Marc Guehi is a Chelsea target, while Chelsea like Liam Delap too.
There are also some outgoings on the agenda at Stamford Bridge.
Carney Chukwuemeka could be sold, while a Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall could go too.
Speaking on The Done Deal Show, Ben Jacobs has been discussing Dewsbury-Hall's future, and he says that Fulham and West Ham are both potential suitors for the Chelsea midfielder.
Fulham or West Ham could move for Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall
Jacobs gave an update on Dewsbury-Hall's situation at Chelsea.
The midfielder has barely played this season and a January move could be on the cards.
According to Jacobs, Fulham and West Ham are potential suitors, while there was a suggestion that Brighton could renew their summer interest.
"I'd also keep an eye on West Ham for Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall as well. Dewsbury-Hall is a surprising one because he only joined over the summer for £30m, he played under Maresca at Leicester and he's liked by his teammates.
"I think Chelsea will be very understanding of Dewsbury-Hall's situation if the right opportunity presents itself, I'd keep an eye on West Ham and possibly Fulham and remember Brighton wanted the player over the summer."
Fulham and West Ham midfield options analysed
Dewsbury-Hall potentially has two London-based Premier League options here, and if he has to choose between Fulham and West Ham, this could be a tough call.
Indeed, the last thing Dewsbury-Hall wants right now is to end up at another club where he's going to consistently be on the bench.
| Fulham midfield options | West Ham midfield options |
| Sander Berge | Tomas Soucek |
| Sasa Lukic | Lucas Paqueta |
| Tom Cairney | Carlos Soler |
| Andreas Pereira | Edson Alvarez |
| Harrison Reed | Guido Rodriguez |
| Josh King |
Both Fulham and West Ham have plenty of midfield options, but perhaps Dewsbury-Hall's best bet would be to join West Ham.
Indeed, Guido Rodriguez has been criticised this season, and a lot of West Ham's midfield options are very defensive-minded, and with a new manager coming in, the system is about to change.
As for Fulham, Marco Silva has a lot of midfield depth as well, and he's unlikely to change his system anytime soon to accommodate Dewsbury-Hall.
Andreas Pereira has been linked with a move away from Fulham, so perhaps that could change things, but, as things stand, there isn't much room in the Fulham XI for Dewsbury-Hall.
Perhaps a move to the London Stadium could be just what Dewsbury-Hall needs to reignite his career.
