Everton agree £25m deal to sign Dewsbury-Hall from Chelsea
Fabrizio Romano revealed on Instagram that Everton have reached an agreement to sign Dewsbury-Hall from Chelsea in a permanent deal worth around £25 million.
He added that the midfielder has already agreed personal terms with the Toffees, and the transfer now awaits an official announcement.
The news drew a response from Everton vice-captain Tarkowski, who liked the post, fuelling further excitement among fans.
Everton supporters had already shown enthusiasm for Dewsbury-Hall’s arrival following earlier reports that Everton were advancing in talks, and the latest update suggests the deal is now on the verge of completion.
The former Leicester man endured a limited role during his debut season at Stamford Bridge, making just two Premier League starts. However, he still managed to register nine goal contributions across all competitions.
Football Insider previously reported that Everton had made a push to sign Dewsbury-Hall in January, but Chelsea were only willing to sanction a permanent move, halting any chance of a loan deal.
Now, Everton have returned and look to have finally secured the player on a permanent basis.
Southampton reject second Everton bid for Tyler Dibling
While the club close in on Dewsbury-Hall, their pursuit of Southampton’s Tyler Dibling has hit a stumbling block.
Everton have had two bids turned down for Dibling, with Southampton holding out for a reported £50 million fee for the promising youngster.
Fans have urged Everton to push for Dibling’s signature since interest first surfaced, especially amid previous competition from the likes of Tottenham and Newcastle.
However, with the Saints’ valuation proving steep, it remains to be seen whether the Toffees will return with a third offer.
