After a difficult season with limited playing time, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall is on his way to Everton for £25m.
The 26-year-old had been with Leicester City since 2006 before making a big-money move to Chelsea to join manager Enzo Maresca.
He found it difficult to get into the Chelsea team and supplant the likes of Enzo Fernández, Cole Palmer, and Moises Caicedo.
However, he still shone in his limited playing time, showing that his fantastic 2023/2024 season in the EFL Championship was no fluke.
He will now benefit from regular playing time in a system that will suit him well.

In this scouting report and player analysis, we will examine some of his strengths and weaknesses and discuss how he can completely transform Everton’s attack.
