Tottenham has the opportunity to secure the services of Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, a talented player from Leicester City, for a fee ranging between £30-40 million during the upcoming summer transfer window.
According to senior correspondent Pete O’Rourke, Dewsbury-Hall’s potential departure hinges on whether or not Leicester City achieves promotion this season.
O’Rourke further explained that if the Foxes do make it back to the Premier League, they will be determined to retain the 25-year-old midfielder.
However, he cautioned that Leicester City may be forced to engage in a firesale due to their financial difficulties. Finance expert Kieran Maguire has even suggested that the club could face a points deduction for breaching Profit and Sustainability Rules, estimating the amount to be around £25-30 million based on their 2022-23 accounts.
In light of these circumstances, O’Rourke believes that if a substantial offer is made for Dewsbury-Hall during the summer, Leicester City may have no choice but to seriously consider it.
Enzo Maresca considers the midfielder to be a crucial player if the club makes a comeback to the Premier League, as they made great efforts to retain him in January.
Despite interest from Brighton and Brentford, the Foxes successfully resisted any attempts to sign him, thanks to his impressive performances this season, which include 12 goals and 14 assists.
According to reports, the Championship club initially demanded a transfer fee of £40 million or more in the January window, but they may now be willing to accept a price range of £30-40 million for his sale in the upcoming summer transfer window.
Furthermore, it is believed that the English talent will further enhance his abilities when surrounded by better teammates, and the addition of Dewsbury-Hall to the squad next season is expected to contribute to their improvement.
