Chelsea complete signing of Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall from Leicester City in £30 million transfer

Chelsea confirmed on Tuesday that Dewsbury-Hall has become the latest player to sign for the Blues. The midfielder makes the switch after an impressive campaign with the Foxes which saw him named the club's Player of the Season and Players' Player of the Season as they won the Championship title.

He told Chelsea's website: "It is amazing to be sitting here as a Chelsea player. This is a club people grow up watching and hoping to one day play for, so it is a privilege to be here. I’m really excited to get going and can’t wait to show everybody what I can do."

Chelsea have been busy in the transfer market so far, in terms of arrivals. They have recruited manager Enzo Maresca and midfielder Dewsbury-Hall from Leicester, have signed Omari Kellyman from Aston Villa and Marc Guiu from Barcelona. The Blues are trying to build on their sixth-place Premier League finish from last season - before parting ways with manager Mauricio Pochettino - and they will hope these new recruits can help them towards that goal.

Chelsea's first-team squad are due to return for pre-season next week, allowing new boss Maresca to have a look at what his options are. They then begin their friendly fixtures against Wrexham on July 24, before taking on Celtic three days later.
