Premier League side Everton have bolstered their midfield with the acquisition of Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall from Chelsea, in a deal reportedly worth £25 million ($33 million).
The 26-year-old penned a five-year contract on August 6, 2025, becoming the Toffees’ fifth major signing of a busy summer window, following the arrivals of Charly Alcaraz, Thierno Barry, Mark Travers, and Adam Aznou.
Expressing his excitement after sealing the move, Dewsbury-Hall said:
“Everton’s one of the biggest clubs in the country, and I think that in the next couple of years, the future is going to be bright. It was an easy decision in the end to come here and play for this club.”

The energetic midfielder, who first made his name at Leicester City, had a relatively quiet spell at Stamford Bridge after joining Chelsea in 2024. He featured in just two league games last season, with a total of 19 appearances across all competitions.
Now looking for a fresh start at Goodison Park, Dewsbury-Hall is determined to make an impact.
“The move has given me the motivation and the extra determination to show everybody, to prove a point,”
he added.

“You look at the stadium – it’s incredible. Obviously, I’ve played in all of the Premier League stadiums, and this is one of, if not the most impressive, so that in itself is a major, major exciting factor for wanting to join.
“Then the fan base is one of the most passionate in the country, so I know if we start playing well and I start showing the fans what I’m about, it’s going to be a big, big bonus to help me and the team show our best. So that’s what I want.”
