So, it’s been a massive team effort from Leicester, with Maresca deserving plenty of plaudits for the way the team are playing.
It may be unfair to single out individuals, but there’s no denying that Dewsbury-Hall has been brilliant for the East Midlands outfit, scoring ten goals and registering 12 assists to become their talisman.
Therefore, it’s perhaps no surprise that top-flight clubs are keeping tabs on Dewsbury-Hall, as it was claimed towards the end of January that Brighton were pushing hardest to sign the 25-year-old, who is also on the radar of Arsenal and Brentford.
Despite his status at the club, there was some talk that Leicester would cash in, but Maresca told the Telegraph that the player was not interested in pursuing a move.
Dewsbury-Hall had played regularly for Leicester for two years in the Premier League before this season, so it’s not like he was an unknown.
Nevertheless, dropping to the Championship has benefited the player, as he has embraced the extra responsibility, with Maresca’s arrival allowing him to flourish.
These comments from the boss show the midfielder is loving life at Leicester, and it would be a massive surprise if he was sold in the summer should the side return to the top-flight.
