Per Fabrizio Romano, Chelsea are closing in on a deal to secure Dewsbury-Hall's signature.

Dewsbury-Hall is set to sign a deal until 2026, and he is set to sign his contract on Sunday. Leicester have rushed the deal through to comply with Profit and Sustainability regulations.
DID YOU KNOW?
Dewsbury-Hall has also been linked with Brighton but it appears that Chelsea have beaten the Seagulls to the punch. There was some suggestion a player could be involved in a swap deal but that does not appear to be the case. Instead, Fabrizio Romano notes that Blues youngster Michael Golding will be joining Leicester in a entirely separate deal.

The deal is moving quickly as Leicester bid to avoid punishment from the Premier League when it comes to PSR. The switch will see Dewsbury-Hall link back up with Enzo Maresca, with whom he won the Championship with last season.
