Enzo Maresca Open to Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall’s January Move If Necessary

The player managed to secure a goal in the game with Shamrock Rovers which ended with 5-1 in the UEFA Conference League. Despite his performance in that game, Kiernan still had little playing time and might be let go due to that.
Maresca stated to the reporters “Unfortunately I can not say that about Kiernan or all of the squad because when the window is open, anything can happen. The only thing I can say about Kiernan is that we are very happy with the way he is working and his performances.
