Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall Describes Chelsea Move After Exiting Leicester City with Renewed Confidence

Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall arrives at Stamford Bridge feeling rejuvenated, describing himself as a “new player,” and emphasizing Chelsea as the ideal club for his next career step.

After 17 years at Leicester City, Dewsbury-Hall completed a £30 million move to London, where he will reunite with Enzo Maresca, the Italian coach who played a crucial role in his standout season last year.

Following Leicester City’s Championship title win, where Dewsbury-Hall was named Player of the Season, the 25-year-old expressed confidence and eagerness to showcase his abilities at the highest level once more, stating that Chelsea is the perfect match for him.

“I’m thrilled to be here as a Chelsea player,” he remarked. “This is a club that people dream of playing for since childhood, so it’s an honor to be here. I’m excited to get started and demonstrate what I can do.”

“My main goal for the season is to win trophies,” he continued. “That’s the objective of this club, and we have plenty of opportunities to compete for titles this season. That’s my top priority.”

“I want to play as much as possible and contribute to the team,” he emphasized. “That’s crucial for me. I want to savor every moment and every game this season. With the talent and potential in this squad, I believe we can achieve great things if we harness it properly.”

“Last season was a positive one for me, and I feel like a completely new player entering this season — confident, motivated, and eager to test myself against top players at Chelsea. I couldn’t think of a better fit.”

Dewsbury-Hall’s ambition to establish himself in Chelsea’s starting lineup is buoyed by his existing rapport with Maresca, a coach he holds in high regard.

“I’ve been vocal about my admiration for the new head coach,” Dewsbury-Hall added. “He’s fantastic, top-notch.”
