His impressive stats have attracted interest from several Premier League clubs, including Chelsea, Brighton, and Brentford.

This foresight has come full circle as Dewsbury-Hall is now linked with a potential transfer to Stamford Bridge.
WHAT DEWSBURY-HALL SAID
Dewsbury-Hall put out a tweet which read: “Chelsea will win the league now Kantè has moved there…”.
