Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall’s claim about scoring against Leicester
By Kian Long
Leicester City host Chelsea this weekend. Their former player Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall has already made a claim about potentially scoring against Leicester.
Foxes, we are finally there. After a dreaded international break, Leicester City will be back in action this weekend. So, it's time to convert from international break boredom to Premier League action.
It is impossible to predict which Leicester we will see after the break. As one of the most inconsistent teams this season, fans can only hope that the international break gave Steve Cooper a chance to reflect.
Unfortunately, it doesn't get any easier fixture wise. The first match back after the break will see Leicester hosting Chelsea at the King Power Stadium.
Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall’s claim about scoring against Leicester
Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall is yet to make his first Premier League start for Chelsea. However, when he arrived, there was plenty of hype for the former Leicester City wonder-kid.
When Chelsea first signed Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, he commented on his potential celebration if he scored against the Foxes. These comments have now resurfaced, courtesy of the Chelsea Chronicle.
In his own words, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall said: “If I score against [Leicester City] I won’t celebrate. I wish them the best of luck for this season."
Watching Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall in a Chelsea shirt still hurts. For some reason, it hurts even more to see him surplus to requirements than it would to see him shining.
However, it was a transfer which could not be avoided from Leicester's perspective. Enzo Maresca wanted to sign him and when Chelsea come knocking, it is unfortunately hard for any player to turn them down.
That said, KDH has been nothing but respectful towards Leicester since making the switch. Therefore, his decision to not celebrate would not surprise any Leicester fans. They only hope to not see the non-celebration live in the flesh.
