Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall is on the move again — but now it’s for good. Everton have struck a permanent deal with Chelsea to sign the 25-year-old midfielder. The agreement includes £25 million fixed, with add-ons raising the total package to £28–29 million. The player agreed to terms, completed his medical earlier today, and Fabrizio Romano delivered his iconic seal: “Here we go!”
Dewsbury-Hall only joined Chelsea last summer from Leicester for around £30m, but exits after just one season. He made 13 Premier League appearances, along with consistent outings in the UEFA Conference League and Club World Cup. Despite showing promise, minutes were limited — and once Everton submitted a formal proposal, the deal accelerated rapidly amid positive and productive internal discussions between both clubs.
Chelsea’s Midfield Reset Gathers Pace
Dewsbury-Hall becomes Chelsea’s third permanent midfield departure this summer, following Lesley Ugochukwu’s move to Burnley and Carney Chukwuemeka’s exit — with Dortmund finalizing a full agreement. The midfield, once brimming with names like Caicedo, Enzo Fernández, Romeo Lavia, Andrey Santos, and Dario Essugo, now undergoes rapid streamlining.
Chelsea’s strategy is clear: slim the squad, free up space, and maintain FFP flexibility. Dewsbury-Hall’s sale brings in quick profit and reflects the board’s push for balance. Midfield exits alone have now generated over £70 million, and the club expects more changes before deadline day.
Everton Land Their Target Kiernan Dewsbury
It is a big midfield coup for Everton. Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall was one of the stars of Leicester’s promotion campaign in 2023/24 – scoring 12 and setting up 14. And with his high work rate, vertical passing and creativity he fits in really well to the tactical vision of Sean Dyche.
At Goodison Park, he aims to become a regular starter — bringing energy, maturity, and Premier League experience. He’s blue again, just not the Chelsea kind anymore but fully Everton now.
