The England international Dewsbury-Hall has spent just a year at Stamford Bridge and received only two Premier League starts from the Blues under manager Enzo Maresca, who brought the midfielder from Leicester City upon his arrival.
Dewsbury-Hall is eager to get started
Dewsbury-Hall did not wish to depart Chelsea, according to reports, but was considered surplus to requirements after aiding the team in winning the Club World Cup and Conference League last season.
Now, he is anEverton player, and he shared his excitement about joining a club he regards as one of the largest in the country.
"I am extremely excited to begin. Just being here in the stadium is incredible.
“There’s a genuine excitement around this. It feels right for me. Just that alone gives me the motivation and determination to show everyone, to prove a point and have a successful time here.
"Everton is one of the biggest clubs in the country, and I believe that in the coming years, the future will be bright. Ultimately, it was an easy decision to come here and represent this club.”
Moyes played a significant role in bringing him to the Toffees
The Blues have invested a staggering £242m on new signings this summer, and selling players who often found themselves on the bench, like Dewsbury-Hall, is crucial for financial balance.
The 26-year-old elaborated on the transfer and how manager David Moyes was a key influence in persuading him to move to Merseyside.
"For me to leave my previous club, it had to be for something special, a project I truly believed in. After talking with the manager and understanding the ambitions with the new stadium and everything, it felt like the right club, the right fit for my next step.
"(Moyes) mentioned he has been following my progress for a while; he appreciates my playing style and explained what he envisions for my role within this team. That’s what every player wants to hear.
"I have great respect for him; he’s a legend in the sport, so it will be a pleasure to work under his guidance."
Moyes is confident Dewsbury-Hall will excel
Finally, Moyes commented on the transfer and shared his thoughts on what he believes Dewsbury-Hall can contribute to a side aiming for a European spot under his management next season.
“We are delighted that Kiernan has chosen to join Everton. He had interest from other clubs, but he was enthusiastic about the opportunity and challenge at Everton.
“Kiernan’s skill and Premier League experience give us hope that he can adapt swiftly.
“We look forward to collaborating with him, and I’m confident all Evertonians will provide him with the support he needs.”
