Everton look to be increasing their pursuit of Chelsea midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall.
David Moyes knows the need for a new midfielder as Everton are lacking in that department.
Although James Garner impressed for Everton vs Man United, the Scotsman will look for any opportunity to improve the Toffees’ fortunes.
The target who looks to be the main candidate in filling this role is Dewsbury-Hall, who Chelsea are looking to offload.
Everton fans really want Dewsbury-Hall, and now their dream might become a reality as a possible bid seems to have been placed, but there is a twist.

Everton have not put in bid for Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall despite Fabrizio Romano claim
With the 26-year-old looking like the priority player to come in and play a role in Moyes’ midfield, it seems like The Friedkin Group are moving quickly with this deal.
This comes after Fabrizio Romano claimed that a bid had been submitted for the Englishman.
However, all might not be as it seems, as although the interest appears to be concrete, Moyes and the hierarchy might not be moving that quickly.
Paul Joyce has followed this by saying that ‘discussions’ are taking place, but there has been no official offer as of yet for the ‘fantastic’ Dewsbury-Hall.
Hopefully, as the stages progress, it will get to the first bid, as the Chelsea star has the clear attributes that make him the perfect creative mindset for Moyes.
Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall would be Everton’s perfect Abdoulaye Doucoure replacement
Finally, it appears that The Friedkins are making the moves that were desired before the window, and the Toffees boss will be delighted.
Moyes seemed frustrated by Everton’s lack of signings, but Dewsbury-Hall would show the clear ambition that he’s been wanting.
Adding to this, the Blues can finally replace Abdoulaye Doucoure’s absence, as the need for a more attacking-minded midfielder is clear, and Dewsbury-Hall showed in his time at Leicester that he provides this to a tee.

| Chances created | 39 |
| Dribble success % | 61.8% |
| Fouls won | 35 |
| Chances created per 90 | 2.18 |

Chelsea has been an unfortunate roadblock in the star’s promising career, as after his £30 million move from the Foxes, the 26-year-old made just 13 league appearances last campaign.
Now, he can have a key role in Moyes’ regime, as his creativity in the final third would be key, and he could even be an upgrade on Doucoure.
