Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal have reportedly been scouting Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall this season, and I think that they would have been impressed by how the Leicester City playmaker did against Leeds United at Elland Road.
Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall could not lead Leicester City to a win against Leeds United, but the Arsenal target did well in his role and was impressive.
Arsenal scouting Leicester City midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall
On January 30, 2024, Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano told GiveMeSport that Arsenal, who could lose Aaron Ramsdale in the summer transfer window, have “sent some scouts multiple times to follow” Dewsbury-Hall “because they believe he is very talented”.
Romano added that Leicester wanted £40 million in transfer fees for Dewsbury-Hall, who plays as an attacking midfielder.
Leicester took on Leeds away from home at Elland Road in the Championship on Friday evening.
Dewsbury-Hall started the match for the Foxes. The 25-year-old Englishman was deployed as a central attacking midfielder in a 4-2-3-1 formation.
Praise for Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall
Although Leicester lost the match 3-1, the local media was impressed by the display produced by the 25-year-old, who is on the radar of Brighton and Hove Albion.
LeicestershireLive marked Dewsbury-Hall 8 out of 10 and noted: “He made things happen throughout. Leeds could not handle his speed and directness on the ball, and his footwork was great too, winning him lots of free-kicks. He was so good that he quickly wound up the home fans.”
Dewsbury-Hall has made 31 starts and two substitute appearances in the Championship for Leicester this season. He has scored 10 goals and provided 12 assists in those games.
During the 2022-23 season, the playmaker scored two goals and gave two assists in 28 starts and three substitute appearances in the Premier League for Leicester last season.
Leicester are at the top of the Premier League table at the moment with 78 points from 34 matches, six points above second-placed Leeds.
