Everton are set to sign Chelsea midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall.
The 26-year-old will join the Toffees after spending one season at Stamford Bridge, where he struggled for regular game time under Enzo Maresca.
Dewsbury-Hall will move to Everton in a deal worth around £25million, making him the fifth arrival at the Hill Dickinson Stadium this summer.
The ex-Leicester City star will definitely contribute under David Moyes in L5, and the Blues may officially announce his arrival in the coming hours.

MORE TOFFEES STORIES
The news outlet reports that the Englishman’s medical will take place on Tuesday (5 August), but may continue until Wednesday (6 August).
It’s been claimed that the Blues identified reinforcing the midfield as one of their priorities after Abdoulaye Doucoure’s exit, and the Chelsea ace will soon be part of Moyes’ squad.
While Dewsbury-Hall has struggled to find his feet in West London, the Scottish manager will hope to bring the best out of him on Merseyside.

Moyes to unlock Dewsbury-Hall’s potential
Dewsbury-Hall was arguably the best Championship midfielder in the 2023/24 campaign, leading Leicester to Premier League promotion.
The English national has impressive passing range, dribbling skills, ability on set-pieces and is capable of creating and scoring chances.
At Chelsea, the 26-year-old showed glimpses of his talent in the UEFA Conference League and the Club World Cup, which Maresca’s team won.
Championship Statistics
Appearances 44
Goals 12
Assists 14
Chances created 109
Successful dribbles 59
Penalties awarded 2
Duels won 201
Possession won in the final third 59
Dewsbury-Hall’s Championship record in the 2023/24 season.
Everton will be getting a quality player in Dewsbury-Hall, and he could easily partner with the likes of James Garner and Carlos Alcaraz in the engine room.
Moyes lost 12 players at the end of last season, and The Friedkin Group (TFG) have taken their time to reinforce the squad.
With Dewsbury-Hall on his way to the Toffees, the Scottish manager should now demand more attacking and defensive additions before the end of August.
