(Image) £30m player confirms Chelsea move with emotional farewell message

Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall has confirmed he is leaving Leicester after posting an emotional goodbye to fans on Instagram ahead of his move to Chelsea.

The 25-year-old will become the Blues’ latest signing in a deal worth £30million, with all that is missing is an official announcement from the club.

Dewsbury-Hall has been playing for Leicester for 17 years, coming through their academy ranks before establishing himself as a key first-team player.

The midfielder will be reunited with Enzo Maresca under whom he shone in the Championship, scoring 12 goals and providing 14 assists as the Foxes won the Championship title last season.

Dewsbury-Hall becomes the latest player to swap Leicester for Chelsea, following in the footsteps of Ben Chilwell, Wesley Fofana, N’Golo Kante and Danny Drinkwater.
