The 25-year-old joins from Leicester City where his performances for our new head coach Enzo Maresca saw him named in the 2023/24 Championship team of the season. Under Maresca’s guidance and with Dewsbury-Hall a driving force in the middle of the pitch, the Foxes secured immediate promotion back to the Premier League at the first time of asking. And Dewsbury-Hall said: ‘Last season was a positive year for me and I’m coming into this season feeling like a new player, full of confidence, full of motivation to get going and I don’t see a better fit than coming to Chelsea and testing myself against some top players and playing with top players. ‘I am in a great space and I am really looking forward to.
Prior to December 2021, Dewsbury-Hall had productive loan stints at Blackpool and Luton Town. Since then, he has been a constant in Leicester’s starting lineup.
In addition to his 59 Premier League matches, he has made 179 senior appearances and played for Leicester in Europe.

“As an attacking player looking to contribute in the last third of the pitch, that is something I will try to do again this year.”
Maresca joined Leicester in June of last year after assisting Manchester City in winning.
With a total of 97 points in his rookie campaign, the 44-year-old led the Foxes to the Championship title while displaying his very own playing style.
“I have made it pretty public about what I think of the new head coach,” Dewsbury-Hall stated. He is outstanding. He is the best.
During the previous season, he fundamentally altered Leicester’s style of play, and it was successful. I think a lot of the other boys felt the same way I did about the way he wanted to play.
“I came here with a great deal of confidence that he would apply his style and that the boys would embrace and enjoy it.”
