Everton Submit Bid for Chelsea Midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall

Everton have made an official bid to secure Chelsea midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall on a permanent deal, according to transfer insider Fabrizio Romano. The move signals a potential shift for the 26-year-old Englishman, who joined Chelsea from Leicester City for £30 million in 2024 but has struggled for regular starts, featuring in only 12 matches during the 2024-25 season due to intense competition.

Club-to-club negotiations are underway, with Chelsea open to the transfer as they look to streamline their squad. Dewsbury-Hall’s versatility and proven Championship-winning form with Leicester in 2023-24 make him an attractive target for Everton, who aim to bolster their midfield. The Toffees’ bid comes as the Premier League transfer window, open since June 16, nears its September 1 deadline.

Dewsbury-Hall’s career includes notable loan spells at Blackpool and Luton Town, where he honed his skills before breaking into Leicester’s first team. Chelsea’s willingness to negotiate may reflect their £128 million transfer deficit reported by Transfermarkt in 2025, suggesting a strategic squad overhaul. Discussions on terms between the clubs are ongoing, with both sides keen to finalize the deal swiftly.
