Chelsea Football Club has finalized the transfer of midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall from Leicester City for a fee of £30 million. 

The 25-year-old is the fourth player to join the Blues this summer, following Tosin Adarabioyo, Omari Kellyman, and Marc Guiu.

Dewsbury-Hall played a significant role in Leicester's championship-winning season, contributing 12 goals and 14 assists under former manager Enzo Maresca, who has also moved to Stamford Bridge. 

The transfer is expected to assist Leicester in meeting Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR), although their full compliance is uncertain.

Dewsbury-Hall's departure marks the end of his 17-year association with Leicester City, having joined the club at the age of eight. 

In an emotional farewell message on Instagram, he expressed his gratitude and reflected on his time with the Foxes.

He also addressed Leicester's recent relegation and subsequent promotion, expressing pride in the team's achievements last season and thanking the fans for their support.
