Transfer analyst Fabrizio Romano intervenes to clarify Enzo Maresca stance on Chelsea’s pursuit of Leicester City player Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall. Armando Broja isn’t a likely makeweight in Chelsea’s ambitions to sign Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall from Leicester City right now, as the clubs try to beat the PSR clock and reach an agreement.
Slough-born Albania striker Broja, 22, has been mentioned as one of three potential Chelsea players being offered to Leicester in what would be billed as a separate deal from the one that would bring Dewsbury-Hall to Stamford Bridge – and, crucially, clear any City concerns about a breach of Profit and Sustainability Rules by the end of football’s fiscal year. However, Broja has also been connected with Everton, among other clubs, and the transfer may be too expensive for Leicester to justify.
“There is still interest from Everton, and another club has requested information on Broja within the last 24 hours,” stated transfer insider Fabrizio Romano in a Saturday afternoon update. “Armando Broja is quite popular. Currently, there is no confirmed agreement between Leicester City and Armando Broja.Leicester was one among the names mentioned, but the club is aware that the player has other ambitions, and Chelsea has good value for Armando Broja, so include him in the Dewsbury-Hall swap deal would complicate matters.
“Discussions between Chelsea and Leicester concerning Dewsbury-Hall continue. They are still chatting today, so the conversations are ongoing. Let’s see what occurs in the coming hours, minutes, and days, since Chelsea is still working on it.” Dewsbury-Hall starred as Leicester gained promotion to the Premier League under Enzo Maresca, but Romano believes that Maresca’s subsequent move to Chelsea is not driving this potential sale. He added, “Let me clarify one thing about Dewsbury-Hall. Enzo Maresca approved this option, and while his view is crucial, this is a transaction that begins with the recruiting, so Enzo Maresca is not calling Chelsea’s recruitment staff and saying, ‘Let’s go grab him.’
“Enzo Maresca learned about the potential straight from the recruitment team and chose to sanction it, but this came from Chelsea, not only the manager. This is critical to clarify.
