Everton star Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall has been a solid addition for the Toffees since his move from Chelsea in the summer – and the midfielder has noticed one thing about the Hill Dickinson faithful ever since his transfer.
Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall joined Everton from Chelsea back in August, and he’s already added a goal and two assists to his Premier League tally en route to becoming a key starter for David Moyes.
With ten starts from 11 games, owing his only absence to a controversial ban picked up for accumulating too many yellow cards, it’s fair to say that the Hill-Dickinson faithful have already become acclimatised to his performances.
And the Englishman believes that the Toffees’ support is ‘on another level’ to anything he’s ever played alongside in the past, including his Chelsea days.

Dewsbury-Hall says Everton fans are the best he’s ever played for
Everton fans are known to be one of the loudest in the Premier League, especially from their time at Goodison Park.
There were fears that their move to the Hill Dickinson Stadium would see them struggle to adapt to a new ground in terms of noise.
But Dewsbury-Hall says that Everton fans are on a ‘different level’ to Chelsea, Leicester City and his loan spells away from the King Power Stadium.
He said on Everton’s official YouTube: “The feeling of the club, it feels like a proper family club. I don’t know how to explain it really.

“The fan base is so big and it means so much to the people, which I love because football’s my life and I feel like it’s their life as well.
“I see how passionate they are, and how much they want to win. Not saying that my other clubs weren’t like that, but Everton are on a different level.
“I was speaking with someone the other day, and I was saying ‘imagine playing for Everton when you’re pushing for things and trying to win things.’
“It must be one of the best places to play, and that’s what I want to get to because that would be an amazing feeling.
“You see how good they are even in their tough times, but imagine when it’s going a bit better?”
If Everton can climb the Premier League table, then Dewsbury-Hall can certainly expect to hear the noise from the rafters.
Hill Dickinson Stadium is the biggest Dewsbury-Hall has ever played in
There’s no comparison, in all fairness.
Leicester City’s King Power Stadium holds around 32,000 fans, almost half of what the Hill Dickinson Stadium boasts.
And, for such a successful club, Chelsea’s 40,022-seater Stamford Bridge pales in comparison to the new Merseyside stature.
David Moyes has already praised Dewsbury-Hall for his recent performances, and that has been echoed by Tottenham boss Thomas Frank.
If he can get those performances going on a regular basis alongside the Hill Dickinson Stadium being expanded, Dewsbury-Hall may hit levels we’ve never seen before.
