Leicester City may suffer £45m Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall blow no matter what: View
Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall has been central to Leicester’s success this season. But he’s likely to be sold even if the Foxes secure promotion.
Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall has been the lynchpin of Leicester City’s promotion push this season.
The midfielder came of age after Leicester’s relegation, and with 24 goals and assists combined to his name, no player has been involved in more goals for the Foxes.
But with Leicester in breach of profit and sustainability rules (PSR), they may have to cash in on their coveted academy graduate.
Dewsbury-Hall has grown in stature since Leicester’s relegation, earmarking himself as a leader within Enzo Maresca’s squad.
Second only to Jamie Vardy for goals scored this season, the all-action midfielder has added a clinical edge to his typically composed game.
Alongside summer signing Harry Winks, Dewsbury-Hall has dominated games, with Leicester seeking to make an instant return to the Premier League.
His displays haven’t gone unnoticed either, with a host of Premier League clubs touted with interest in the 25-year-old.
The likes of Brighton and Tottenham have been credited with interest in Dewsbury-Hall as they seek to overhaul their respective midfield this summer, and they’ll feel a cut-price deal can be struck for the Englishman due to Leicester’s financial struggles.
Leicester’s financial struggles mean they will likely have to entertain offers for their star asset, irrespective of whether they secure promotion, but they are said to be holding out for close to £45m, according to reports from TalkSport.
