Leicester City will have to withstand interest from at least three Premier League if they are to keep hold of Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, according to Football Insider.

Tottenham Hotspur are to battle it out with Brentford and Brighton and Hove Albion for the 25-year-old midfielder, who has impressed this term as the Foxes hunt a return to the Premier League.

Dewsbury-Hall has featured 40 times in the Championship so far this season, contributing 12 goals and 13 assists to help his side to a one-point lead at the top of the table with just five games remaining. 

The Shepshed-born Leicester man is now set to be at the centre of a three-way tug-of-war between a trio of sides who all showed an interest in the January transfer window, only to be rebuffed by the Foxes. 

It has previously been reported that Leicester City are willing to accept £25 million for their academy graduate should they fail to achieve promotion. However, should Premier League status be regained, the East Midlands outfit would be looking for a fee closer to £40 million.

The Football Insider report claims that the Premier League sides are ready to complete what they see as a ‘bargain’ transfer. Dewsbury-Hall is under contract at the King Power Stadium until the summer of 2027 but his departure is looking inevitable.

Leicester have recently been charged for breaching Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR) having lost around £90 million during the 2022-23 season. The possibility of a points deduction hangs over the club and their need to balance the books could lead to Dewsbury-Hall leaving for less than the current asking price.
