Everton has completed the signing of Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall from Chelsea in a 30 million pound deal.
The 26-year-old left the Stamford Bridge just one year after getting in from Leicester.

Dewsbury-Hall became a blues player in the summer transfer window before the start of last season, after the manager Enzo Maresca led through the door in the King Power Stadium.
This transmission was worth £ 30 million, which means that they do not make the player loss.
Everton pays a first £ 25.9 million with £ 4 million in add-on and he signed a contract by June 2030.
Dewsbury-Hall said: “I’m so excited to get started. Sitting here in the stadium is incredible.
“To be honest, I am very excited, the family is excited. There is a real sensation. It feels right for me. So the only way to show me the motivation and the additional determination to show everyone a point and have a really successful time here.
“Everton is one of the largest clubs in the country, and I think the future will be bright in the next few years. In the end it was an easy decision to come here and play for this club.
“You look at the stadium – it is incredible. Obviously, I played in all Premier League stages, and this is one of the, if not the most impressive, so that in itself is an important, more important exciting factor for accession.
“Then the fan base is one of the most passionate in the country. So I know if we play well and the fans what I am about.
The time of the midfielder at Chelsea did not go as he would have wanted because he had only started two Premier League games last season.
He made a total of 13 league appearances, but almost all of the bank were a replacement.

Dewsbury-Hall had the greatest success on the continent for Maresca’s team and played in every game of the Europa Conference League.
He played an important role in the blues that won this European title and scored four of his five goals for the club in this competition.
However, he left Chelsea in search of more regular minutes.
After the signing of Dario Essugo and Andrey Santos’s loan return, places in the middle of blues are even more sparse.
Moises Caicedo, Enzo Fernandez and Romeo Lavia will regularly start the leading competitors.
It means that Dewsbury-Hall had to find a new club to get a regular playing time.

Doucore replacement?
The Toffees are looking for options for midfield after seeing abdoulaye Doucore at the end of his contract this summer.
Carlos Alcaraz signed a permanent deal, while Thierno Barry von Villarreal connected in a transfer of 27 million GBP and took over the previous summer editions of the Toffees to £ 70 million.
But you still need someone who replaces Doucore in the line -up. Doucore played 33 times in the Premier League last season and his departure left a gap for another box-to-box player.
And Dewsbury-Hall could be this player because he falls deep and broken into the penalty area.
David Moyes will add the Chelsea man to his midfield group by Idrissa Gueye, James Garner, Tim Iroegbunam and Alcaraz.

Next signs Everton?
Everton opened the talks about Manchester City Jack Grialish’s loans, Talksport understands.
Geralish has exposed itself to an uncertain future in Etihad last season with only seven Premier League games.
It is believed that the 29-year-old is aware that his career is over at City after being left out of Pep Guardiola’s squad for the World Cup.
Talk sports reported last week how the Toffees keep an eye on the player in the middle of a potential switch.
