Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall 'could be on Arsenal's radar' for summer | OneFootball

Arsenal could look to sign Leicester City midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall during the summer transfer window, and journalist Dean Jones has spoken to GIVEMESPORT about the Gunners' plans at the end of the season, including their pursuit of the Championship star.

Dewsbury-Hall has undeniably emerged as one of the standout performers in the Championship this season, and his trajectory suggests an imminent return to the Premier League. Whether through a transfer or Leicester securing promotion back to the top flight, the 25-year-old midfielder seems destined for a return to the highest echelon of English football. Thriving in the second tier, his consistent level of performance undoubtedly positions him as a valuable asset for any Premier League team, should he maintain this impressive form.

The north London club opted not to make a move in the winter window, but it could be a busy summer for Mikel Arteta and his recruitment team could be busy in the summer as they look to reinforce their squad ahead of the next campaign.

During the January transfer window, The Athletic reported that Brighton & Hove Albion were pushing to secure the signature of Dewsbury-Hall. The report claims that although the Seagulls were the ones pushing hardest, Arsenal and Fulham are also monitoring the 25-year-old.

A departure in the winter was always going to be unlikely for Dewsbury-Hall considering his importance to the Foxes. Enzo Maresca's side are also pushing to gain promotion back to the Premier League at the first time of asking, so losing one of their standout players could have been disastrous.

However, a move back to England's top flight could certainly be of interest to Dewsbury-Hall, and Leicester could be tempted by a significant offer. Offloading Dewsbury-Hall in the summer rather than the winter will allow them more time to sign a replacement. Before the January window, Jones told GIVEMESPORT that Thomas Partey's time at the Emirates Stadium was ticking down and even suggested that he could depart in the winter. However, a move failed to materialise, but considering his injury issues, Arteta and his recruitment team might be considering finding a replacement later in the year.

Dean Jones update - Dewsbury-Hall could be on their radar

Jones has suggested that a player of Dewsbury-Hall's calibre could well be on Arsenal's radar ahead of the summer transfer window, with the Gunners targeting a player who is creative and versatile in midfield. The journalist adds that it's not often that a player like Dewsbury-Hall becomes available and he might not be top of their shortlist, but he would fit into what Arteta is trying to do at the Emirates Stadium. Speaking to GIVEMESPORT, Jones said...

Arteta could sign a striker

The position that plenty of Arsenal fans will be hoping to see strengthened in the summer transfer window is the centre-forward role. Gabriel Jesus and Eddie Nketiah have struggled to find the back of the net on a consistent basis this season, and it looked as though they were considering a move to bring in a new striker in the January window.

Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano suggested to GIVEMESPORT that the Gunners could have made a late play to secure the signature of Newcastle United's Callum Wilson. A report from the Evening Standard claimed that the Magpies may have been forced to offload Wilson due to financial issues at St James' Park, with Arsenal being made aware of his availability.
