Chelsea have contacted Leicester over a potential move for Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall.
New Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca worked with Dewsbury-Hall last season as Leicester won the Championship title and he is eager to be reunited with the midfielder.
If Dewsbury-Hall was to leave Leicester then Chelsea would be the only club he would be keen on joining. Chelsea have yet to make a formal offer for the 25-year-old.
Maresca believes that Dewsbury-Hall is perfectly suited to the style of football that he wants to play.
Aside from loan spells at Blackpool and Luton, Dewsbury-Hall has spent his entire career so far at Leicester and has made over 100 appearances for the Foxes.
