Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall has completed his transfer from Leicester City to Chelsea, joining Enzo Maresca at Stamford Bridge. The midfielder has committed to a five-year contract with the Blues, which includes an option for an additional year, and will integrate with his new teammates for pre-season training.

Reflecting on his move, Dewsbury-Hall expressed his excitement, saying, “It is amazing to be sitting here as a Chelsea player. 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.” Having joined Leicester at the age of eight, he made his senior debut in an FA Cup tie against Brentford in January 2020.
After a productive loan spell with Blackpool, where he scored four goals in ten appearances, Dewsbury-Hall became a key player for Leicester, making 44 appearances in the 2021/22 season and earning a spot in the UEFA Europa Conference League Team of the Season for his role in helping the Foxes reach the semi-finals.
