Everton have announced the signing of Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, with the midfielder arriving from fellow English Premier League club Chelsea.
Dewsbury-Hall has signed a five-year contract with the Toffees with the fee for the 26-year-old an initial 24m Pounds, with a further 3-4m due in add-ons.
He is Everton’s fifth signing of the current transfer window following the arrivals of Charly Alcaraz, Thierno Barry, Mark Travers and Adam Aznou.
“I’m honestly very excited, my family’s excited. There’s a real buzz about this. It feels right for me,” said Dewsbury-Hall.
“So just that alone gives me the motivation and the extra determination to show everybody, to prove a point and have a really successful time here.
“The fan base is one of the most passionate in the country, so I know if we start playing well and I start showing the fans what I’m about, it’s going to be a big, big bonus to help me and the team show our best. So that’s what I want.”
Everton manager David Moyes said: “We are pleased that Kiernan has chosen to join Everton. He had other clubs interested in signing him but he was excited by the opportunity and the challenge at Everton.
“Kiernan’s quality and experience of the Premier League gives us the hope that he can adapt quickly.
“We look forward to working with him and I’m sure all Evertonians will give him the support he needs.”
