Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall is finally beginning to find his feet at Chelsea after a tough start to life at Stamford Bridge.
Leicester City sold Dewsbury-Hall to Chelsea in the summer as the midfielder reunited with Enzo Maresca.
However, with plenty of competition for places, Dewsbury-Hall has had to settle for gametime in the Conference League, as well as little cameos off the bench.
That changed on Monday as the former Foxes academy star earned himself a first Premier League start for the Blues against Wolves and impressed in the 3-1 win, grabbing an assist in the process.
It feels like it could be a turning point in the 26-year-old’s career and Leicester City fans are all making the same point.
