Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall exit from Leicester City now ‘inevitable’ after £90m news – sources
Leicester City will find it difficult to keep prize asset Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall at the club this summer, sources have told Football Insider.
The Foxes could be susceptible to losing the academy product, 25, in the off-season after recording huge financial losses in the 2022-23 campaign.
Accounts published last week (2 April) revealed that the club suffered losses of £90million last season.
Leicester have been charged for an alleged breach of Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR) for the 2022-23 campaign after exceeding the maximum allowed loss of £105million over three years.
The Foxes could face a points deduction if they return to the Premier League next term as their fight for promotion continues.
A well-placed source has told Football Insider that it is “inevitable” Dewsbury-Hall will leave the club if Enzo Maresca’s side fail to get promoted.

In any case, Leicester could be forced to sell the midfielder to balance the books this summer due to his homegrown status.
The midfielder would represent pure profit in the club’s accounts after coming through the youth system.
Dewsbury-Hall has been the star performer for Leicester this term, notching 12 goals and 14 assists in 44 appearances across all competitions in the 2023-24 campaign.
He has turned out 124 times in total for the Foxes after making his first-team debut in January 2020.
Leicester took a commanding position in the race for the Championship title on Saturday (6 April), moving one point clear with a win over Birmingham City.
Maresca’s side also have a game in hand against title rivals Leeds and Ipswich.
