Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall is proving Chelsea wrong as no player in their squad comes near his brilliant Everton statistic.

After signing from Enzo Maresca’s side for £24 million in the summer, Dewsbury-Hall was expected to be a steal.

So far, the 26-year-old has proven to be exactly that, as Gary Lineker is ‘not surprised’ by Dewsbury-Hall’s start.

The attacking midfielder has been vital to David Moyes’ success this season, with Chelsea giving the Toffees a bargain.

To make matters worse for the Blues, Dewsbury-Hall is doing something at Everton that trumps every single Chelsea player.

Everton’s Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall has more chances created than any Chelsea player this season

Following his move, the midfielder has hit the ground running and has become one of the stars of the early season.

So much so that Dewsbury-Hall is one of the most creative players in the league, creating eight chances, which Chelsea can’t match, with only Pedro Neto putting up a fight so far.

Everton supporters called Dewsbury-Hall ‘a breath of fresh air’ as the fanbase have been lacking a number ten who can do it all in the middle of the park.

It’s looking like a great piece of business, and when you take into account that he’s already played more than the 259 league minutes he got at Stamford Bridge, it’s clear the midfielder made the right choice.

Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall was never going to work at Chelsea as Everton move is game-changer

The overall transfer was the perfect decision made for Dewsbury-Hall’s own career.

Chelsea’s project sees plenty of chopping and changing, with there already being an array of options that can play in that number ten role.

Comparing this to Everton, only Jack Grealish playing through the middle offers any threat to the 26-year-old, who has got his freedom on Merseyside.

Dewsbury-Hall found his role difficult at Chelsea, and despite showing promising signs, the former Leicester City star never quite got his chance.

Now at Everton with the most chances created between the two clubs, it’s obvious the Englishman made the right decision, as joining Moyes’ side was a game-changing choice for both the player and the Toffees.
