Leicester City has sold midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall to Chelsea for £30m. The 25-year-old, who graduated from the Foxes’ academy, has signed a six-year contract with the Blues that will keep him at Stamford Bridge until 2030. The transfer was completed before Sunday’s Premier League profit and sustainability rules (PSR) deadline, which will help Leicester comply with financial guidelines.
Dewsbury-Hall expressed his excitement about joining Chelsea, a club he has always dreamed of playing for. He had an impressive season last year, scoring 12 goals and providing 12 assists in 44 league games, earning him Leicester’s Player of the Season and Players’ Player of the Season awards. With Dewsbury-Hall’s departure, Leicester can now focus on their own future plans and potentially ease some of their PSR concerns.
Chelsea’s signing of Dewsbury-Hall makes him their fourth summer signing, following other transfers like defender Tosin Adarabioyo, midfielder Omari Kellyman, and teenage forward Marc Guiu. The move is expected to boost the team’s prospects for next season as they look to challenge for honours in the Premier League.
