However, after just one season Dewsbury-Hall moved on and joined Everton last summer, and he’s now opened up on his time at Stamford Bridge.

“It was weird (at Chelsea),” he told Mail Sport.

“It almost felt like no matter how well I played in midweek, I would not play at the weekend. I’m a very emotional guy. If I’m not playing, I feel useless.

“I could easily have stayed at Chelsea for much longer but I wanted to go to a club with a project and be a main player.”

Chelsea looking for another midfielder this summer

Despite having great options in midfield, Chelsea are reportedly looking to bring in another midfielder this  summer.

The Blues are said to be looking to ease the burden on Fernandez and Caicedo, amid concern over Romeo Lavia’s injury issues.
