Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall to Tottenham transfer rated as Chelsea exit news emerges

John Wenham doesn't think Tottenham will sign Chelsea outcast Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall.

The owner of the reputable Spurs podcast Lilywhite Rose believes the rivalry between the two clubs makes a transfer difficult to complete.

As reported by Fabrizio Romano via the Daily Briefing (13 November), Chelsea are open to letting Dewsbury-Hall leave the club in January, with Spurs reportedly interested.

However, Wenham - speaking exclusively to Tottenham News - doesn't think Dewsbury-Hall will end up in North London.

“The club really wanted Conor Gallagher," Wenham said.

"However, as has been the case historically, Spurs and Chelsea weren’t able to do a deal. Therefore, I don’t see Tottenham going to their rivals Chelsea and saving somebody who has been a disappointing signing from their point of view.

“I just can’t see Spurs saying we will take Dewsbury-Hall off your hands, pay you a fee, pay his wages. I just can’t see that happening at all.”

Tottenham to miss out on signing Chelsea midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall?

Spurs and Chelsea very rarely do transfer business together. Therefore, it is hard to see the two clubs agreeing on a deal for Dewsbury-Hall.

In addition, a brand-new midfielder isn't exactly what Ange Postecoglou necessarily needs right now.

The Australian is already stacked in terms of squad options in that area of the pitch. As a result, he has struggled to offer all his midfielders consistent minutes as of late, which has left one big-name player unhappy.

Therefore, it doesn't seem wise to spend money bringing in another midfielder midway through the season.

In other Tottenham news, the club are likely to block one player from leaving the club in January.
