Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall among Premier League’s best in remarkable new reveal at Everton
Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall has been a breath of fresh air in Everton’s energetic midfield this season.
Everton signed Dewsbury-Hall from Chelsea in the summer transfer window, and the midfielder instantly hit the ground running under David Moyes.
His £30million move was questioned at first, although he has slotted into the starting line-up brilliantly, playing in behind Beto or Thierno Barry in attacking midfield.
Despite only having three goal contributions in 10 appearances, the 27-year-old has proven his worth off the ball for the Toffees.
Ahead of Everton’s clash against Man United, Dewsbury-Hall’s pressing ability has been highlighted by topping a Premier League stat among midfielders.
Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall tops stat among midfielders
After years of pragmatic football under the likes of Frank Lampard and Sean Dyche, Everton are becoming one of the most effective pressing teams with Moyes at the helm.
Only Brighton (232) have applied more pressure in the opponents’ half per game than Everton (224) in the Premier League this season.
Dewsbury-Hall leads the way for total pressures in the opposition half this season among midfielders, with a staggering 503.
| Stat | Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall |
| Touches | 501 |
| Duels won | 54.8% |
| Tackles | 16 |
| Possession won in final third | 9 |
Dewsbury-Hall has been phenomenal when it comes to the attacking side of the game, creating 18 chances and registering 12 successful crosses.
His energy and dynamism in the middle of the park are exactly what Everton needed to add.
In Everton’s 2-0 win over Fulham on 8 November, Dewsbury-Hall once again excelled, and he is going under the radar as one of the most influential signings of the season.
With the 2026 World Cup fast approaching, there is no reason why the former Chelsea man won’t have his eye on breaking into the England team.

Nottingham Forest’s Elliot Anderson has been a huge beneficiary of Thomas Tuchel’s reign, and Dewsbury-Hall could follow in his footsteps.
It’s clear he must take his game up to another level, and if he becomes more of a goal threat, he would certainly send a message to Tuchel that he is being overlooked.
It goes without saying that there is a lot of competition in attacking midfield, with Jude Bellingham, Morgan Rogers, and Eberechi Eze all expected to be on the plane to North America.
However, Dewsbury-Hall has the ability and dedication to be a perfect fit for the squad, and he certainly has the potential to make a late push in the coming months.
