BBC SportGood luck, indeed. But also, "location not available". Not seen that one before.

I think Dewsbury-Hall will be a big success away from Chelsea and will be a main-stay in Everton's midfield for the season. Good luck to him!

I thought that Chelsea would sell KDH for a higher price than what they bought at Leicester.

'It had to be something special to leave Chelsea'published at 14:44 British Summer Time 6 August
Even more from Dewsbury-Hall: "For me to leave my old club, it would have had to have been for something special, a project that I really believed in.
"After speaking to the manager [David Moyes] and seeing the ambitions with the new stadium and everything, it felt like the right club, it felt like the right fit for me for the next step.
"[Moyes] said he's been admiring me for a while; he loves the way I play and just explained to me what he sees me doing in my role in this team. That's what you want to hear as a player.
"I have enormous respect for him, he's a legend of the game, so it'll be a pleasure to work under him."
'It was an easy decision to come here'published at 14:39 British Summer Time 6 August
More from Dewsbury-Hall: "Everton's one of the biggest clubs in the country, and I think that in the next couple of years, the future is going to be bright.
"It was an easy decision in the end to come here and play for this club.
"You look at the stadium – it's incredible. Obviously, I've played in all of the Premier League stadiums, and this is one of, if not the most impressive, so that in itself is a major, major exciting factor for wanting to join.
"Then the fan base is one of the most passionate in the country, so I know if we start playing well and I start showing the fans what I'm about, it's going to be a big, big bonus to help me and the team show our best. So that's what I want."
'There's a real buzz about this'published at 14:34 British Summer Time 6 August
Speaking to EvertonTV after signing for the Toffees, Dewsbury-Hall said: "I'm so, so excited to get started. Just sitting here in the stadium, it's unbelievable.
"I'm honestly very excited, my family's excited. There's a real buzz about this. 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."

Can Dewsbury-Hall solve Everton's search for goals?published at 14:27 British Summer Time 6 August
Jordan Butler
BBC SportDavid Moyes has been vocal about his need for fresh faces this summer and the addition of Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall would add much needed depth and quality to Everton’s midfield.
The 26-year-old was an ever present for Chelsea in their successful Europa Conference League campaign, scoring four times in 13 appearances, but ultimately struggled to force his way into the Premier League side ahead of Moises Caicedo and Enzo Fernandez.
He made two top-flight starts for the Blues and his total of 13 league appearances amounted to just 256 minutes of playing time.
But it will be Dewsbury-Hall’s returns during Leicester’s 2023-24 promotion season that will be of particular interest to Moyes as he seeks to replace the important attacking contributions of Abdoulaye Doucoure from central areas.
The box-to-box midfielder notched 12 goals and 14 assists for the Foxes as they won the division and that tally has only been bettered three times in the last 10 Championship seasons.
Everton scored just 25 goals from open play in the Premier League last season, ranking them 18th of all clubs.

Image source, Getty ImagesAs well as holding talks over Tyler Dibling and Jack Grealish, Everton are also close to a deal for Chelsea's Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall.
On Monday our reporter Nizaar Kinsella confirmed the Toffees have agreed to sign Chelsea midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall in a deal worth around £28m.
The fee for the 26-year-old is an initial £24m with a further £3-4m due in add-ons, and he will now finalise personal terms and undergo a medical despite late interest from Fulham.
Dewsbury-Hall had initially been reluctant to leave Stamford Bridge after a season playing in a supporting role as the side won the Fifa Club World Cup and Uefa Conference League, as well as qualifying for the Champions League.

Are Everton looking in the right place with Dibling?published at 14:14 British Summer Time 6 August
Joe Bradshaw
BBC SportIt seems a touch ironic that in seeking to address their goalscoring difficulties, Everton have targeted an attacker from one of the only two teams to score fewer than them last season.
Last season, Dibling scored two goals from nine shots on target, notching every 937 minutes. That is a long way behind Beto's 191 minutes per goal or even the 537 minutes managed by the much-maligned Dominic Calvert-Lewin.
Dibling caught the eye with his close control last season, but after a hot start he faded in the malaise of Southampton's season, and a dribbling success rate of 47% was middle of the road for the two squads.
For instance, Illiman Ndiaye offered 48.5% and Dwight McNeil 53%. Dibling's shooting accuracy was below his potential future team-mates too.
However, while the numbers do not suggest a huge improvement, Everton would be buying great potential, and filling a significant hole in their squad.
The touch map below shows Dibling clung mainly to the right side of Southampton's attack, tending to cut in on his left foot to make things happen. That was the position taken up by Jack Harrison in his 34 appearances last year and he has now returned to Leeds.

Nottingham Forest have signed goalkeeper Angus Gunn on a one-year deal.
The Scottish international made 35 Championship appearances for Norwich last season and has been a regular in the national team since 2023.
"I am really happy to be here." Gunn said. "This is a historic Club on an exciting journey and I’m looking forward to being a part of it and getting to work.
"I’m joining a good group of keepers, and I believe my experience will add something to the team. I can’t wait to get going."

I wish Darwin the very best of luck for the future and it's sad he's leaving but the reality is that it just didn't work out. We need a more consistent number 9 than what he could produce goal wise.
