Brighton and Hove Albion have thrown a curveball by pursuing Leicester City’s Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, a player also on Arsenal’s radar, this January. The Seagulls are eager to secure the versatile midfielder’s signature amid his impressive performances this season.
Despite Leicester City’s relegation scare last season, Dewsbury-Hall has been a standout performer under Enzo Maresca’s guidance. With nine goals and nine assists in 27 Championship appearances, the 25-year-old Englishman has caught the eye of several clubs, including Brentford and Arsenal.
Brighton, currently seventh in the Premier League, are looking to bolster their squad for a potential European qualification push. Talks are underway between Brighton and Leicester City, with the Foxes holding firm on their £30 million valuation of Dewsbury-Hall.
Meanwhile, in Arsenal’s camp, Thomas Partey has returned to training after a three-month absence due to a thigh injury.
The Ghanaian midfielder’s recovery comes as a relief for Arsenal, who have faced midfield challenges in his absence. With an eye on their upcoming FA Cup clash against Nottingham Forest, Arsenal anticipates Partey’s return to action after a prolonged spell on the sidelines.
