Everton Signs Midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall from Chelsea
Everton has agreed to sign midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall from Chelsea for an initial fee of £25 million, with additional add-ons. The 26-year-old is set to undergo a medical in Merseyside as part of the transfer process.
Dewsbury-Hall, who joined Chelsea last summer from Leicester City, has struggled for playing time amid the club's extensive transfer activity. Last season, he played 36 matches, contributing five goals and four assists. His previous season at Leicester saw him score 12 goals and provide 14 assists, showcasing his potential as a central midfielder.
This transfer addresses one of Everton's pressing needs as they prepare for the upcoming Premier League season. The addition of Dewsbury-Hall is expected to enhance the team's midfield options, particularly in combination with Idrissa Gana Gueye.
