Chelsea has started to make plans to part ways with their summer signing Kiernan Dewsbury Hall in January. The top club that is looking to acquire Hall from the Blues is Aston Villa as he is struggling to get playing minutes.
There are reports that Aston Villa are ready to accept a loan deal for the midfielder. The current pricing for Kiernan is set at 30 million euros. Villa seems to be most interested in a loan deal as Hall has not played many minutes with the Blues.
Chelsea acquired the younger in the last summer transfer window. He was among the 11 players who made their way to Stamford Bridge this summer. The Blues paid a hefty amount of 30 million euros to Leicester City.
Kiernan has made a total of 15 appearances for the London Giants this season. He has scored once and assisted twice this campaign. One prominent game for the youngster was against Gent in the conference league where he scored his debut goal for the club.
The midfielder has however struggled to get minutes in the Premier League. He has played a total of 43 minutes in the English league this season. There are many first choices for Maresca that are in the first squad of the team.
Kiernan has spent just four months at Stamford Bridge. The competition for the midfield area is high in the Chelsea squad as the team is stacked with midfielders. A move to Aston Villa is most likely the top choice for the Englishman in January according to Yahoo Sports.
Does Aston Villa really need Kiernan Dewsbury Hall from Chelsea?
The need for Aston Villa to want Hall could be shocking for some fans. There are many players that have fit in well in the team’s midfield. Amadou Onana, Youri Tieleman and John Mc Grinn are some players who are Villa’s engine in the midfield area.
This deal will be fruitful for Villa if they get the midfielder on a loan term or a relatively low price. The current release clause for Hall is set at 30 million euros. There are many other competitors that are willing to make a deal with the young midfielder.
Kiernan was expected to make a huge impact under Maresca. He has struggled to get playing minutes this season. Hall has not played first-team games this season but has participated in the team’s victories in the Conference League.
Aston Villa is currently proposing an 18.2 million euro offer for the midfielder plus 5 million euros in extras. It will be clear in January if the youngster will make his move on an initial basis or if this deal will be a permanent one.
Manchester United’s interest in the 26-year-old
There are reports that there is rising interest from Old Trafford for Hall in the January transfer window. The Red Devils are looking to strengthen their midfield to boost their chances in the Premier League. If Kiernan does join Manchester United he will only bolster the team’s midfield.
The newly appointed manager Ruben Amorim has arrived at the club with huge expectations. Amorim will not mind adding depth the his team’s midfield. There’s Christen Eriksen who will not be a part of the team for very long.
Kiernan might be some new legs that the Red Devils need. The new manager is en route to building a broken team. Some new faces at Old Trafford will only be beneficial for the club. There are plenty of experienced players in the team like Bruno Fernandes and Casemiro.
These experienced players can be the guiding light for Kiernan if he makes his move to Manchester United. There are many teams that are looking to acquire Hall from Chelsea in January. Aston Villa and Manchester United are the two teams that have set their radar on the English midfielder.
Hall will be a part of the Chelsea squad when he faces his former team Leicester City. The Blues will look to secure three points to be well in contention for the Premier League this season.
