Everton agree £28m deal for Chelsea midfielder Dewsbury-Hall

Everton have agreed to sign midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall from Chelsea in a deal reportedly worth around £28–29 million including add-ons. The 26-year-old, who struggled for consistent Premier League starts at Chelsea last season, is expected to undergo a medical before the transfer is finalized. Dewsbury-Hall previously had a standout spell at Leicester City, contributing significantly before following manager Enzo Maresca to Chelsea, but he played a more peripheral role there. Everton view this signing as a key reinforcement in central midfield, aiming to improve their squad depth ahead of the new Premier League season. Chelsea, in a busy transfer window, are offloading several players including Dewsbury-Hall, Lesley Ugochukwu, and Carney Chukwuemeka as they reshape their squad. The move offers Everton a Premier League-caliber player entering his prime, addressing a critical area identified by manager David Moyes.
