Dewsbury-Hall arrived from Leicester at the start of this month ready to take the next step in his career and show his qualities at one of Europe’s elite clubs.

The beginning of that process is bedding in smoothly. All the signs from speaking to Dewsbury-Hall, an assured young man, suggest he has had no issue making himself at home.

‘It’s been amazing so far,’ he beams. ‘I have really enjoyed the first few weeks. I’ve absolutely loved every day coming in, excited to work with everyone. Everyone is at such a high level, and the lads have been so welcoming so I can’t thank them enough.

'I’ve really got on with them. It’s helped that I knew quite a lot of them before, but it’s just nice to meet them properly and talk to them.

'They’re all top, and the staff are fantastic, so I’ve been absolutely over the moon with the way it’s gone in these weeks.

‘Having a history with the staff has certainly helped,’ adds the 25-year-old, who has linked up again with the coaching team from his final year at Leicester.

‘They’re all really top guys but also fantastic coaches who keep things professional. That was nice to see them again after a long summer off.

'It was a nice feeling to get in, it was a complicated and stressful time over the summer but once you’re in the door you feel happy and excited to go. That’s the way I’m feeling now.’

It's no surprise, then, that Dewsbury-Hall says his early days at the club have exceeded his expectations. Now his focus is on displaying his talents on the pitch when the match action begins.

‘Everyone knows how big Chelsea is, the size of the club, but when you’re in there you realise how big and global it is,’ he says.

‘That’s a great feeling as a player because those are the teams you want to be playing for, and showcasing yourself at.

'That makes me so determined and motivated to get on the pitch and show everyone what I can do, and help the team achieve the goals we set out.’
