'It is amazing to be sitting here as a Chelsea player'

Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall says it is a "privilege" to sign for Chelsea after completing his move from Leicester City.

The 25-year-old has signed a five-year deal with the Blues, which includes an additional one-year option.

The midfielder came through the Foxes academy and made his senior debut in an FA Cup tie against Brentford in January 2020.

Following spells away on loan he has since made 129 appearances across all competitions for the east Midlands side, scoring 17 goals and making 20 assists.

Dewsbury-Hall will now have the opportunity to link up again with his former boss Enzo Maresca, under whom he was a key figure in Leicester's Championship-winning team last season.

"It is amazing to be sitting here as a Chelsea player," he told club media.

"This is a club people grow up watching and hoping to one day play for, so it is a privilege to be here.

"I'm really excited to get going and can't wait to show everybody what I can do."
