Everton are holding firm amid interest from Manchester United and Aston Villa for Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall.
Dewsbury-Hall, who moved to Everton for £25 million (rising to £28m with add-ons) in August 2025, is considered a key player for David Moyes.
His performances have attracted attention from other Premier League clubs.
Everton’s Stance on Dewsbury-Hall
The Everton board and David Moyes view Dewsbury-Hall as “unsellable” at present. However, the club might be tempted by an astronomical bid. It is understood that Everton have already identified Pavel Šulc as a key summer target, and a significant offer could lead to a midfield reshuffle.
Having already seen a massive return on their £25m investment through on-pitch performance, Everton would likely set a starting price of at least £45m–£50 million for any potential summer suitor.
Interest from Top-Six Contenders
Dewsbury-Hall’s versatility in the “Number 8” and “Number 10” roles has drawn interest from top-six contenders seeking squad depth. Manchester United and Aston Villa are reportedly “feeling out” the situation, attracted by his Premier League experience and stamina.
As of now, no formal “summer transfer bid” has reached the club offices. Discussions remain at the representative level, mainly focused on “project information gathering.”
Dewsbury-Hall’s Value to Everton
Dewsbury-Hall is seen as the face of a rising Everton era, coinciding with the new stadium project. He is tied to Everton until June 30, 2030, giving the club leverage in negotiations. He currently earns approximately £110,000 per week, and a move to a rival would likely require a salary package pushing the £150,000 per week “elite bracket.”
- He has tallied 6 goals and 5 assists in the Premier League this season.
- He averages nearly 90 minutes per game throughout the 2025/26 campaign.
- Thomas Tuchel is reportedly monitoring the player closely for the England national team.
Scouting reports highlight key aspects of Dewsbury-Hall’s game, including his contribution of 6 goals and 5 assists in the Premier League this season and his consistency, averaging nearly 90 minutes per game. Thomas Tuchel is reportedly monitoring him for the England national team, which is increasing his market value.
If Everton secures European qualification, Dewsbury-Hall is likely to remain as the team’s key player. Should a club like Manchester United or Aston Villa submit a bid exceeding £50 million, Everton’s financial balancing act could force a difficult decision.
