'I cannot say' — Maresca opens exit door for Chelsea star in January

Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca has refused to rule out an exit for one of the club's stars in the January transfer window.

Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has hinted that £30m summer signing Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall could be sold in January due to his limited playing time.

Dewsbury-Hall arrived from Leicester City over the summer with big expectations but is yet to start a single game in the League this season.

His goal in Chelsea's 5-1 win over Shamrock Rovers in the UEFA Conference League is his only goal involvement since arriving.

Despite playing in cup competitions, the midfielder's lack of top-flight opportunities has left him frustrated.

When asked about Dewsbury-Hall's future, Maresca said:

"Unfortunately I can not say that about Kiernan or all of the squad because when the window is open, anything can happen."

Maresca praised Dewsbury-Hall's work ethic and performances but stopped short of guaranteeing his future at the club.

"The only thing I can say about Kiernan is that we are very happy with the way he is working and his performances," he added.
