Chelsea Football Club have confirmed the exit of Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall to Merseyside team, Everton Football Club on a permanent deal.
Both clubs announced the transfer of the midfielder on their websites on Wednesday, August 6, 2025. According to reports Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall signed a five-year deal which will see him remain at Everton until 2030.
The 26-year-old is the fifth player that Everton have signed this summer following the arrivals of Charly Alcaraz, Thierno Barry, Mark Travers, and Adam Aznou. He joined Chelsea from Leicester City following his impressive performance with the Foxes during the 2023/24 season.
Dewsbury-Hall started only twice in the Premier League in his one season at Chelsea, he scored four times in the UEFA Conference League and came off the bench to set up Jadon Sancho’s goal in the 4-1 triumph over Real Betis in the final in May 2025.
He was used mainly as a substitute in the FIFA Club World Cup, but scored his fifth goal for the club in a 4-1 victory over Benfica and appeared as a substitute in the 3-0 final success over Paris St-Germain.
Why did Chelsea sell Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall?
The sale of Dewsbury-Hall is particularly important as Uefa’s recent punishment for financial control violations.
This means Chelsea must sell players from their last Conference League squad to ensure a positive transfer balance” this summer. If not they can’t register new signings like Joao Pedro, Jamie Gittens and Liam Delap by September for the Champions League.
