Chelsea’s Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall to Play Backup Role, Says Peter Crouch
Former Liverpool striker Peter Crouch has shared his thoughts on Chelsea’s recent signing, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, who joined the Blues for a reported £30 million earlier this month. In an interview with Paddy Power, Crouch predicted that Dewsbury-Hall will play a squad role at Chelsea, backing up Enzo Fernandez and Moises Caicedo.
The 25-year-old midfielder signed a six-year deal with Chelsea, keeping him at Stamford Bridge until 2030. Crouch believes that Fernandez and Caicedo will improve next season, having gained experience in their first year at the club.
“At the moment, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall will be a squad player,” Crouch said. “But when someone like Chelsea comes in for you, you must give it a go. You can always go back to a team [like Leicester] but you’ve got to try your luck at these clubs. I did that when I went to Liverpool, and it was the best thing I ever did.”
Dewsbury-Hall reunited with his former Leicester City manager, Enzo Maresca, who also joined Chelsea this summer. The young midfielder will look to make a positive impact at his new club, potentially contributing to Chelsea’s success in the future.
With Chelsea’s strong squad and ambitious plans, Dewsbury-Hall will face stiff competition for a starting spot. However, Crouch’s prediction suggests that he will be a valuable asset to the team, providing depth and quality off the bench.
As the transfer window continues to shape up, fans will be eager to see how Dewsbury-Hall adapts to his new surroundings and whether he can establish himself as a key player for Chelsea.
