Club release statement confirming midfielder HAS SIGNED for Chelsea
Chelsea have completed the signing of Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall from Leicester.
The 25-year-old has signed a six-year contract at Stamford Bridge and becomes their fifth summer arrival after Tosin Adarabioyo, Estevao Willian, Marc Guiu and Omari Kellyman joined the club. The Blues have paid £30million to secure his services after beating competition from Brighton and Brentford.
The Foxes posted on the club website: ‘Leicester City Football Club can confirm that an agreement has been reached for the transfer of Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall to CHELSEA for an undisclosed fee.’
‘An Academy graduate, Dewsbury-Hall joined the Foxes aged eight, and played a key role in the Club’s immediate return to the Premier League last term, scoring 12 times and registering 14 assists.
‘Those contributions saw the 25-year-old win the Player and Players’ Player of the Season awards, along with a place in the Sky Bet Championship Team of the Season.
‘He made his City debut against Brentford in the FA Cup in January 2020, and has since gone on to play a further 128 games in all competitions, netting on 17 occasions.
‘The Club would like to thank Kiernan for his efforts as he departs with the best wishes of everyone at Leicester City.’

The players that CHELSEA have been linked too recently are not ready-made stars that could have an impact on the side – Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall is a little more experienced but not really a statement signing from the Blues.
This is not the kind of signing that a massive club like Chelsea should be making that is for sure.
