"After the pair won the Championship together with Leicester City, Maresca brought Dewsbury-Hall to Stamford Bridge after being appointed as Chelsea boss. Dewsbury-Hall made just 13 appearances in the Premier League for Chelsea, but scored four goals and registered two assists in 15 Conference League appearances on their way to winning the trophy. The 27-year-old also featured in five Club World Cup games, scoring in the last 16 against Benfica before coming on as a substitute in the final as they beat Paris Saint-Germain 3-0."
"'I didn't have any doubt about Kiernan,' said Maresca ahead of Chelsea's league match against Everton on Saturday. 'I know that the more he's going to play, he is going to be better. But with us, he was good all season, working hard the time that he played. He was doing well. But here we have also more players. So the competition was a big competition for him, and no doubt that in the moment that he was able to play more games.'"
"Dewsbury-Hall is Everton's joint-leading Premier League scorer this season with four goals. He has netted three goals in his last four games, as many as he had scored in his previous 62 combined for Leicester, Chelsea and the Toffees."
Enzo Maresca had no doubts about Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall during the midfielder's time at Chelsea. The pair won the Championship together at Leicester City, and Maresca brought Dewsbury-Hall to Chelsea after his appointment as manager. Dewsbury-Hall made 13 Premier League appearances for Chelsea and produced four goals and two assists across 15 Conference League matches as Chelsea won that trophy. He also played five Club World Cup games, scoring against Benfica and appearing in the final victory over Paris Saint-Germain. At Everton Dewsbury-Hall became the club's joint-leading Premier League scorer with four goals, scoring three in his last four games. Maresca attributed limited Chelsea minutes to competition for places rather than a lack of quality.
