West Ham eye out of favour Chelsea duo in January midfielder search

Chelsea midfielders Carney Chukwuemeka and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall reporte on West Ham United’s January transfer radar.

Until a recent four-game win-less streak set in, the Blues had found their footing under the leadership of Enzo Maresca to return to Champions League contention.

But the Blues boss has achieved that turnaround ทางเข้า ufabet https://ufabet999.app without using the whole of the bloated squad at his disposal, with a number of players pushed to the fringes.

That Chukwuemeka and Dewsbury-Hall are two such players to have caught the eye of West Ham as they look for a new midfielder, in addition to targeting a forward.

Chukwuemeka, signed for £20m from Aston Villa in 2022 at a time. When Chelsea were seemingly intent on hoovering up as much emerging talent as possible, hasn’t featured at all in the Premier League so far this season. The 21-year-old, reportedly valued at £40m, hasn’t even made the bench for a league fixture and his only minutes have come in the Carabao Cup and Conference League.

Dewsbury-Hall follow Maresca from Leicester City off the back of a top season in the Championship, only to find the new demands a step too far. He’s had some Premier League game time. But is yet to start and similarly often doesn’t even make the bench. The 26-year-old is another. Who has force to rely on other less important competitions to get on the pitch.
