Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall sends three-word Chelsea update after Enzo Maresca transfer stance
Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall has posted an update amid reports linking him with a move away from Chelsea.
The midfielder arrived at Stamford Bridge in a £30million move from Leicester City last summer. Dewsbury-Hall signed a five-year deal as he reunited with former Foxes boss Enzo Maresca in west London.
But the 26-year-old has struggled for games at Chelsea with just 15 appearances across all competitions so far this season. Just five of those have come in the Premier League.

The Englishman is said to be frustrated with the lack of football he has been getting and has been linked with a swift return to the King Power Stadium. With the January transfer window open, speculation will only increase over his long-term future at the Blues.
Dewsbury-Hall has now posted an update on social media. "Back out there," he said on his Instagram story with a picture of him on a Cobham training pitch.
Maresca admitted in December he cannot rule out a January departure for the midfielder, who could leave the Blues on loan with West Ham United understood to be one of the multiple clubs with an interest in the situation.
"Unfortunately, I cannot say that, not about Kiernan, about all the squad, because when the transfer window is open, unfortunately, anything can happen," he said.
"So I'm not focused on January, the only thing I can say about Kiernan is that we are very happy in the way he's working, we are very happy about his performance, and this is my thought about Kiernan.
"We don't want one of our players to leave, the problem is that sometimes the question is more for them, that if they say, 'OK, you don't want me to leave, but I'm not happy, I want to play more'. So in that case, we are not going to say, 'No, you have to stay, yes or yes'. It's a matter of agreement between the club and the player, the only thing I can say is that we are happy with Kiernan, then we'll see."
