Brighton’s agreement with Leicester for Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall collapsed after Chelsea entered the race at the last moment. The 25-year-old midfielder has reconsidered his decision to join Brighton following Chelsea’s approach. Leicester values Dewsbury-Hall at around £35m and needs to sell to comply with Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR).

Brighton had offered £25m plus Jakub Moder, and the deal had progressed enough for both players to undergo medicals. However, Dewsbury-Hall, who played under new Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca, is now considering Chelsea’s offer. Chelsea might propose a swap deal involving striker Armando Broja or other players like David Fofana and Cesare Casadei.

Dewsbury-Hall is a valuable homegrown asset for Leicester, who will receive 100% profit from his sale. Last season, he made 49 appearances, scored 12 goals, and helped Leicester win the Championship. The impact of this move on Chelsea’s Conor Gallagher, linked with a transfer due to Chelsea’s own PSR concerns, remains uncertain.
