Dewsbury-Hall has point to prove after sealing Everton switch
Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall said he wants to "prove a point" after sealing a move to Everton following a frustrating one-year spell at Chelsea.
The midfielder joined the Toffees on Wednesday for a reported fee of £28 million just 12 months after a £30-million move from Leicester to Chelsea.

Dewsbury-Hall was part of the Chelsea side that won the Europa Conference League and Club World Cup in former Leicester manager Enzo Maresca's first season in charge, but he struggled for first-team opportunities in the Premier League.
The 26-year-old is Everton's fifth signing of the summer transfer window after Charly Alcaraz, Thierno Barry, Mark Travers and Adam Aznou ahead of their first season in a new 53 000-capacity stadium.
"I'm so, so excited to get started," he said. "Just sitting here in the stadium, it's unbelievable.
"It feels right for me. So just that alone gives me the motivation and the extra determination to show everybody, to prove a point and have a really successful time here."
Everton begin their season away to Leeds on 18 August before their first competitive fixture at the Hill Dickinson Stadium against Brighton six days later.
