Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall is officially the third Chelsea’s reinforcement for the upcoming season after Tosin Adarabioyo who arrived from Fulham on a free transfer and the 18-year-old attacking midfielder Omari Kellyman, joining from Aston Villa for 22.5 million euros. Dewsbury-Hall was Enzo Maresca’s big wish and Leicester will get around 35 million euros on behalf of his transfer.Introducing Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall to the Chelsea family! 👋 pic.twitter.com/u8Y4F386l0— Chelsea FC (@ChelseaFC) July 2, 2024 The 25-year-old midfielder moved through the Foxes’ youth categories and played 129 games, scoring 17 goals. He signed a five-year deal with the Blues with a one-year extension option. The competition for the starting lineup among the midfielders at Stamford Bridge will be fierce, given that there are still two out of three most expensive midfielders in the Premier League history – Enzo Fernández and Moisés Caicedo. Nevertheless, Dewsbury-Hall expressed his optimism upon joining the London side.”Last season was a positive year for me and I’m coming into this season feeling like a new player, full of confidence, full of motivation to get going and I don’t see a better fit than coming to Chelsea and testing myself against some top players and playing with top players. I am in a great space and I am really looking forward to getting going,” said the player for the club’s official website.Chelsea snatch Barca’s talent for 6,000,000 euros!

He is fantastic. He is top. He completely changed the way Leicester wanted to play last season and we saw it worked. I personally fell in love with the way he wanted to play and I know a lot of the other lads did as well. I am very confident coming here that he is going to implement his style and that the lads are going to buy into it and are going to enjoy it,” added Dewsbury-Hall.Brighton was also interested in bringing the player in January, but Maresca played the key role in his transfer to Chelsea. Dewsbury-Hall played in 44 English Championship matches last season under the Italian strategist, recording a double-double of 12 goals and 14 assists.##NAJAVA_MECA_8193628##
