Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly considering raiding Chelsea for one player who finds himself on the fringes of the squad at Stamford Bridge.
The player in question is Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, who has struggled to get a look-in at Chelsea since his big-money switch from Leicester City in the summer.
In fact, the 26-year-old has had just 46 minutes of Premier League football under Enzo Mascarena despite following the Spaniard from the King Power Stadium to London in the summer.
It has now emerged the Blues are willing to loan the player out and this is thought to have piqued Tottenham‘s interest.
Spurs eyeing loan opportunity for Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall
According to GiveMeSport, Spurs, Newcastle and Aston Villa have all expressed an interest in landing Dewsbury-Hall on loan in January.
Ange Postecoglou is said to be intent on adding more creativity to Tottenham’s midfield and has identified the Chelsea man as a potential solution.
Meanwhile, Unai Emery is alleged to be a big admirer of the former Leicester man and is keen on bringing him to Villa Park to aid the club’s hopes of securing a top-four finish and making it to the latter stages of the Champions League.

Spurs are unlikely to pull off this deal
Chelsea will be wary of sending Dewsbury-Hall on loan to a potential direct rival, and we know that the Stamford Bridge outfit have historically been hesitant to do business with Tottenham.
Additionally, Spurs do not usually sign players on loan, unless the loan comes with an obligation or option to buy, which appears unlikely in the case of Dewsbury-Hall.
