We asked for your views on the signing of midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall who has completed a £30m move from Leicester City.

Here are some of your responses:

Paddy: You know what, I think I’m pretty happy with it. We need cover in the midfield, he looked a good player when Leicester went down, and then did well under our new coach getting them promoted.

Mike: Another midfielder - just what we've been short of. Maybe we could sell another midfielder to make space for him! I mean, it's not like we're short of strikers or anything...

Taylor: Before last season I may have not been too familiar with KDH, however watching how he plays and even when he played against us in the FA Cup, I'm excited. He is an upgrade on Gallagher who we can now sell for pure profit. He will provide an attacking option with vision alongside Enzo and Moises. Exciting times.

Keith: Good signing, solid box-to-box midfielder. Just hope he's not a replacement for Conor Gallagher though, we must keep him!

Tony: Underwhelming signing. We have many better players in the squad who play in the same position. Another Danny Drinkwater?

Brett: KDH has the potential to flourish under Maresca again and with much better players around him, we could see him fully unlocked. Not the marquee signing we were hoping for but has the potential to be one we look back on as a great bit of business.

Mark: If our American owners think by making this signing they can now rake in some pure profit by selling Conor Gallagher they are deluded. Regardless of familiarity with Maresca, this would be a downgrade on Conor who is born Chelsea.

Simon: Good player, good price and excellent that he's joining up with Maresca. However, another midfielder? Where does he play? Instead of who? We really need a serious clearout or the malcontent among the squad is going to be palpable.
