Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall
Position: Central midfielder (M in Fantrax)
Team: Chelsea
Signed From: Leicester City for €34m
Prospects: The 25yo English midfielder, KDH joins his former Leicester boss, Maresca at the Blues this off-season. He was integral to the Foxes promotion campaign last season, with an excellent 12 goals, 14 assists, 14.2 PPS, 9.7 GPPS, 12.3 PPS without sets, and 14.9 PP90 in 41 starts. He played predominantly as the most advanced central midfielder in Maresca's evolving 3 man mid and accrued fantastic attacking numbers. The offense ran through him and he attained over 90th percentiles for CM's in xG, xA, shot-creating actions, key passes, successful dribbles, and more. He contributed little defensively but didn't need to with Ndidi and Harry Winks as his midfield companions. So he seems a perfect fit for the system his manager intends to implement at the Blues, perhaps more than any of their current players, so where's the hesitation?
