Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall Joins Everton In £29m Deal From Chelsea

Everton have signed midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall from Chelsea. The deal starts at £25 million, with up to £4 million in extras, making it a total of £29 million. The 26-year-old has signed a five-year contract. This makes him Everton’s fifth new player of the summer, as reported.

DETAILS OF THE TRANSFER

Dewsbury-Hall joined Chelsea from Leicester City last summer. He now moves to Everton after playing 36 games for Chelsea. The clubs agreed on a deal for £25 million plus extras, totaling £29 million. Dewsbury-Hall was part of Chelsea’s winning teams in the UEFA Conference League and the FIFA Club World Cup last season. He moves to Merseyside with both European and world honors.

EVERTON’S NEW-LOOK MIDFIELD

This signing aims to boost Everton’s midfield as they try to improve this season. Last year, Everton finished 13th in the Premier League after facing relegation threats, as noted. Dewsbury-Hall joins midfielders Charly Alcaraz and Thierno Barry, goalkeeper Mark Travers, and defender Adam Aznou. He is expected to bring energy, creativity, and Premier League experience to the team for the 2025/26 season.

WHAT HAPPENS NEXT FOR EVERTON AND CHELSEA

Everton start their Premier League season next weekend against Leeds United. Leeds is back into the Premier League after gaining promotion from the Championship, making the game an early test for both teams. Meanwhile, Chelsea begin their season against Southampton. They aim to continue their European and world success, despite losing Dewsbury-Hall. Everton fans hope their new midfielder will make a quick impact. They want to move up the table and avoid another relegation battle.
