Chelsea's Transfer Turmoil: Dewsbury-Hall Says Players Won’t Be Distracted

Chelsea midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall assures that the team remains focused despite ongoing transfer speculation. Manager Enzo Maresca is working to trim the squad, with England stars Raheem Sterling and Ben Chilwell excluded. Dewsbury-Hall emphasized clarity from the manager and the team's commitment to training amidst uncertainty.

Chelsea's players remain focused and undeterred by the transfer speculation enveloping the club, according to midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall. Manager Enzo Maresca is actively seeking to streamline the squad, with efforts including the exclusion of England internationals Raheem Sterling and Ben Chilwell from first-team training.

Asked whether the continuous uncertainty was affecting the players' morale, Dewsbury-Hall remarked, "No, we're in a bubble with it. The only thing we're doing is just going out every day and training as well as we can, getting ready for the matches. Everything that happens outside, it's not up to us."

Dewsbury-Hall stressed the need for clarity from the manager, especially with the Europa Conference League playoff against Servette approaching. "He's definitely a person that gives you that," he said, adding that post-transfer window clarity will further focus the team. Chelsea will next face Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League on Sunday.
