Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall: Chelsea sign Leicester City midfielder as new Blues boss Enzo Maresca raids former club

by


Chelsea have completed their fourth signing of the summer transfer window with the arrival of midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall from Leicester City.

The reported £30 million fee sees the Blues beat off interest from elsewhere to lure the 25-year-old to Stamford Bridge.

Former Leicester and new Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca is reunited with one of the midfield stars of his Championship-winning Foxes side, with Dewsbury-Hall agreeing a six-year deal through the 2030 season.

Dewsbury-Hall, 25, was named in the Championship team of the season after registering 12 goals and 14 assists and joins a somewhat congested Chelsea midfield alongside fellow big-money signings from previous windows, Moises Caicedo, Enzo Fernandez and Romeo Lavia.

“It is amazing to be sitting here as a Chelsea player,” said Dewsbury-Hall on the Chelsea website. “This is a club people grow up watching and hoping to one day play for, so it is a privilege to be here.

“I’m really excited to get going and can’t wait to show everybody what I can do.”

An initial bid by the Blues had been rejected after falling short of Leicester’s valuation, as per the BBC, but a deal was ultimately reached.

Chelsea youngster Michael Golding may move in the opposite direction in a separate deal, according to multiple sources.

Dewsbury-Hall joins Omari Kellyman, Tosin Adarabioyo and Marc Guiu as new recruits at Stamford Bridge.
