Everton have submitted an official bid to sign Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall from Chelsea on a permanent deal, aiming to bolster their midfield before the new season begins. Club-to-club talks are ongoing, and Chelsea are open to the idea — despite only signing the midfielder a month ago in a £30 million deal from Leicester.
The 25-year-old is understood to be open to the move, with Everton’s rebuild, expected to be led by David Moyes, positioning him as a central figure. The proposal includes a permanent structure, with discussions now focused on the exact fee and payment terms.
Chelsea open to flipping recent signing
Dewsbury-Hall reunited with Enzo Maresca in July after an outstanding season at Leicester, but minutes in the Premier League proved hard to come by. He managed just 258 top-flight minutes, starting only two league games, while becoming a key figure in Chelsea’s Conference League triumph — with 4 goals and 3 assists in 14 starts.
Now, with midfield depth including Caicedo, Enzo Fernandez, Lavia, Ugochukwu, Santos, and Dario Essugo, Dewsbury-Hall finds himself on the fringes. Chelsea aren’t forcing him out, but are quietly inviting offers to trim the midfield overload. A quick profit and squad balance remain firmly on the table if Everton match their valuation.
The Blues are also mindful of Financial Fair Play regulations and could view this as smart business, especially if they can flip a £30m signing for £35–£40m.

Everton see him as a midfield fix
Everton’s rebuild, expected to be led by David Moyes, has seen the board urged to bring in proven Premier League quality — and Dewsbury-Hall fits that bill. With Doucouré gone, Everton lack a box-to-box option who brings creativity and stamina. They see KDH as someone who can immediately elevate their midfield control.
Sources close to the talks say personal terms won’t pose a hurdle. Everton rate him as the perfect fit — technically sharp, tactically disciplined, and battle-tested.
If talks progress as expected, this could be a key signing wrapped before the Premier League returns on August 18.
