Walks into this team and can make a difference. Helps us keep the ball better, gives us some composure and legs. Think it could be a great signing this.

In fairness, this expected switch to Everton feels like a no-brainer for all parties.<\/p>\n<p>For Everton, they are signing a box-to-box midfielder who will add extra quality to their XI, something their supporters agree with. As for the 26-year-old star, he should get regular action in the top division as he enters his prime years.<\/p>\n<p>The reality is that Chelsea have more than enough depth in midfield to cope with Dewsbury-Hall departing.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/GettyImages-2204957649-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall playing for Chelsea against Copenhagen in the Conference League.\" class=\"wp-image-286600\" \/>Photo by Steve Bardens \u2013 AMA\/Getty ImagesKiernan Dewsbury-Hall proved John Obi Mikel wrong<\/p>\n<p>Back in August 2024, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thechelseachronicle.com\/news\/he-cannot-help-john-obi-mikel-questions-why-chelsea-signed-30m-player-this-summer\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">John Obi Mikel insisted Dewsbury-Hall couldn\u2019t help Chelsea<\/a> following his arrival from Leicester City. Mikel said: \u201cWhen I look at this team, Dewsbury-Hall. Again, I have nothing against this player, it\u2019s not his fault, it was the club who brought him to the club, he cannot help Chelsea.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While Dewsbury-Hall is moving on from Chelsea after just one year, where he found starts very hard to come by, his signing wasn\u2019t a failure. In fact, he played his role very effectively as cover in the squad, stepping into the side pretty successfully on several occasions.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s certainly not an easy role to fill in the squad, and we will see how the likes of Andrey Santos and Dario Essugo do in the new season competing with star teammates Moises Caicedo, Romeo Lavia and Enzo Fernandez in central midfield.<\/p>\n<p>Dewsbury-Hall can leave for Everton with his head held high and the respect of the Chelsea fanbase.<\/p>\n<p>  <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"After just one year at Chelsea, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall looks set to exit Stamford Bridge.
