Good or Bad News: Celtic and Rangers BATTLES for one player and it seems both of them will lose out in signing him

Rangers and Celtic are reportedly interested in signing Chelsea’s out-of-favor midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, who has been deemed surplus to requirements at Stamford Bridge just five months after arriving from Leicester City in a £30 million deal.

However, according to Pete O’Rourke, Football Insider’s Transfer Correspondent, Dewsbury-Hall would likely prefer to stay in the Premier League rather than move to the Scottish Premiership. O’Rourke believes that there will be a lot of interest in Dewsbury-Hall within the Premier League, and that he would probably favor staying in the top tier of English football.

This means that Celtic and Rangers may struggle to entice Dewsbury-Hall to leave Chelsea for the Scottish Premiership. Arsenal have been touted as a potential suitor for the Englishman, while a reunion with Leicester is also a possibility.

Dewsbury-Hall has lacked game time at Chelsea, without a start in five Premier League outings amounting to 68 minutes worth of action. He has been in Chelsea’s second-string team in the UEFA Europa Conference League, scoring two goals and providing one assist in six games.

Chelsea may be reluctant to strengthen a rival if the Gunners were to pursue Dewsbury-Hall. This might allow Celtic or Rangers to swoop for a player who sits on the outskirts of the first team at Stamford Bridge, but they’d likely have to match his £80,000 per week wages.

Dewsbury-Hall’s situation at Chelsea is uncertain, and it remains to be seen whether he will stay at the club or move elsewhere in January. However, it appears that Celtic and Rangers may face stiff competition from Premier League clubs if they are to sign the English midfielder.

Celtic and Rangers are both looking to strengthen their squads in the January transfer window, and Dewsbury-Hall would be a significant addition for either club. However, they will need to convince him that a move to Scotland is the right one for his career.

Dewsbury-Hall has previously spoken about his desire to play in the Premier League, and it may be difficult for Celtic and Rangers to persuade him to give up on that dream. However, both clubs have a lot to offer, including the chance to play in European competition and to win domestic trophies.

Ultimately, the decision will come down to Dewsbury-Hall and what he wants to do with his career. If he is willing to consider a move to Scotland, then Celtic and Rangers will be eager to talk to him. But if his heart is set on staying in the Premier League, then they may struggle to convince him to join them.

In other news, Chelsea are reportedly open to selling Dewsbury-Hall in January, with the club looking to recoup some of the £30 million they paid for him in the summer. This could give Celtic and Rangers a chance to sign him, but they will need to act quickly if they are to beat off competition from other clubs.

The January transfer window is always a busy time for clubs, and this year is likely to be no exception. Celtic and Rangers will be looking to strengthen their squads, while Chelsea will be looking to offload players who are not in their plans. It promises to be an interesting few weeks, and Dewsbury-Hall’s future will be one of the most closely watched stories of the transfer window.
