Chelsea confirms the exit of Kieran Dewsbury-Hall to another Premier League club
Chelsea Football Club have officially confirmed the departure of Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, who has joined Everton Football Club on a permanent deal. The announcement was made on Wednesday, August 6, 2025, via statements on both clubs’ official websites.
According to multiple reports, the 26-year-old midfielder signed a five-year contract with the Merseyside club, committing his future to Everton until 2030.
Dewsbury-Hall becomes Everton’s fifth signing of the summer transfer window, following the arrivals of Charly Alcaraz, Thierno Barry, Mark Travers, and Adam Aznou. His transfer marks another important step in Everton’s ongoing squad rebuild under their new strategy to strengthen the midfield.
The English midfielder joined Chelsea from Leicester City after an impressive 2023/24 season, during which he played a key role in helping the Foxes secure promotion back to the Premier League.
However, Dewsbury-Hall found regular playing time hard to come by at Stamford Bridge. He started just two Premier League games in the 2024/25 season, but still made his mark in European competitions. He scored four goals in the UEFA Conference League, including a memorable assist for Jadon Sancho’s goal in Chelsea’s 4-1 final victory over Real Betis in May 2025.
He also featured as a substitute during the FIFA Club World Cup, where he scored his fifth and final goal for Chelsea in a 4-1 win over Benfica, and made another appearance off the bench in the 3-0 final triumph against Paris Saint-Germain.
Chelsea’s decision to sell Dewsbury-Hall wasn’t purely based on performance—it was also driven by financial constraints. The club is currently under pressure due to UEFA’s Financial Fair Play (FFP) regulations and must comply to avoid further sanctions.
As part of their compliance strategy, Chelsea are required to generate positive transfer revenue, especially from players who featured in their Conference League squad last season. If they fail to do so, they risk being barred from registering new signings like Joao Pedro, Jamie Gittens, and Liam Delap for the upcoming Champions League campaign starting in September 2025.
Selling Dewsbury-Hall, therefore, serves a dual purpose: it helps balance the books while giving the player an opportunity for more game time at Everton.
