Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall sends ‘one more’ message to Chelsea fans pre-showdown
Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall shared a motivated message with Chelsea supporters as they complete preparations for their Conference League final.
After sealing Champions League football on the final day of the season, Chelsea now turn their focus to a European trophy showdown against Real Betis in the Conference League final.
Dewsbury-Hall has been one of Chelsea’s key contributors in Europe, scoring the only goal in their semi-final second-leg victory over Djurgarden.
While his Premier League form has been underwhelming, his impact on the European stage has been far more significant, with six goal contributions in the tournament so far.
The former Leicester City midfielder has been largely used in a rotational role under Enzo Maresca. While he has impressed in Europe his Premier League form has frustrated fans. Some Chelsea supporters have even called for Dewsbury-Hall to be sold this summer.
Despite the speculation, the 26-year-old has sent a motivating message to the supporters ahead of the European final.

Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall sends encouraging message to fans amid Chelsea exit links
Dewsbury-Hall sent a simple but determined message to Chelsea supporters as the team finalise preparations for the Conference League final, posting on Instagram: “1 more”.
He has struggled to break into Chelsea’s midfield on a regular basis and the lack of consistent game time has arguably prevented him from establishing any real rhythm, as he has made just two starts in the Premier League.
Fan concerns may soon be addressed, with Football Insider revealing Chelsea are considering lowering their valuation of the Dewsbury-Hall after failing to offload him in January.
West Ham and Everton were both linked with Dewsbury-Hall earlier in the year, but no deal materialised—Everton opted for Carlos Alcaraz instead, while West Ham were only interested in a loan. That could change this summer, especially if Chelsea become more flexible in negotiations.
Chelsea push ahead in striker search with Hugo Ekitike interest
A sale of Dewsbury-Hall could help the Blues balance the books, particularly as they prioritise strengthening their attacking options ahead of next season.
Chelsea are the latest club to show interest in Eintracht Frankfurt striker Hugo Ekitike following his strong season in the Bundesliga.
However, they face competition for the Frenchman’s signature as Football Insider revealed that Liverpool are also monitoring Ekitike and have been told a fee in the region of £80 million would secure his services.
With summer transfer plans already taking shape, Maresca will be hoping Dewsbury-Hall can stay focused for the final, especially if it proves to be his last appearance in a Chelsea shirt.
