“I'm really excited to get going and can't wait to show everybody what I can do,” said Dewsbury-Hall, who has followed coach Enzo Maresca by leaving Leicester for Chelsea this offseason.

“I have made it pretty public about what I think of the new head coach. He is fantastic. He is top, He completely changed the way Leicester wanted to play last season and we saw it worked. I am very confident coming here that he is going to implement his style and that the lads are going to buy into it and are going to enjoy it.” he said

Chelsea has endured a turbulent time over the past two years after being bought out by American investors Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital.

Maresca is the fourth permanent coach to work under the new ownership in that time, following Thomas Tuchel, Graham Potter and Mauricio Pochettino.
