EPL: ‘He was the most important player at Leicester’ – Maresca hails Chelsea star

Chelsea boss, Enzo Maresca has hailed midfielder, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall as the most important player during his time at Leicester City.

Maresca coached Dewsbury-Hall during their time together at the King Power Stadium.

However, both men opted to leave Leicester to join Chelsea this year.

Speaking ahead of Chelsea’s away Premier League tie with Leicester, Maresca said Dewsbury-Hall is getting better at the Blues.

“Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall was, at Leicester, the most important player. He moved to Chelsea to be one other player,” Maresca said at his pre-match press conference. “You have to accept that.

“Probably at the beginning, you struggled to accept that. Now it’s getting better. I am very happy with him”.
