Dewsbury-Hall starred under new Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca throughout Leicester’s Championship title-winning campaign last term.
He will now reunite with the Italian at Stamford Bridge.
According to The Athletic, the Blues have agreed a £30m fee to sign Dewsbury-Hall from Leicester.
He has agreed personal terms on a six-year contract, and is set to complete a medical today.
Dewsbury-Hall had been nearing a move to Brighton earlier this week.
The Seagulls had agreed a deal worth around £25m plus Poland international Jakub Moder.
Proceedings had been at an advanced enough stage for Moder to have travelled to Brighton for medical tests.
But the deal collapsed after Dewsbury-Hall learned of Chelsea’s interest.

Last season he scored 12 goals from midfielder, also laying on 14 assists.
