Everton have confirmed the signing of midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall from Chelsea in a deal worth around £28 million.
Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, 26, has signed a five-year contract that will keep him at Goodison Park until June 2030.
The transfer includes an initial payment of £24 million, with an additional £3-4 million in performance-related add-ons.
Dewsbury-Hall, a product of the Leicester City academy, becomes Everton’s fifth signing of the summer, following the arrivals of Charly Alcaraz, Thierno Barry, Mark Travers, and Adam Aznou.
The midfielder joined Chelsea last season but made only two Premier League starts, playing a total of 256 minutes across 13 appearances.
However, he played a key role in the club’s successful UEFA Conference League campaign, scoring four goals in 13 matches and providing an assist in the 4-1 final win over Real Betis.
He also scored in a 4-1 victory over Benfica during the FIFA Club World Cup and appeared as a substitute in the final, where Chelsea defeated Paris Saint-Germain 3-0.
Speaking after the move, Dewsbury-Hall said: “I’m honestly very excited, my family’s excited. There’s a real buzz about this. It feels right for me. So just that alone gives me the motivation and the extra determination to show everybody, to prove a point and have a successful time here.”
Before his time at Chelsea, Dewsbury-Hall played a key role in Leicester City’s 2023-2024 promotion from the Championship, scoring 12 goals and providing 14 assists, one of the most productive seasons by a midfielder in the division over the past decade.
