"£50-60m" - Pundit makes Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall claim as Spurs and Man Utd eye Leicester ace | OneFootball

Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall is arguably Leicester City's most valuable financial asset and best player, but the Foxes could need to raise significant funds before the end of June.

The midfielder has already proved how vital he is to Leicester’s promotion push this year with his performances dazzling so far in the Championship, and rightly earnt him a nomination for the Championship's Player of the Year award.

His overall goal contributions have underlined his quality, but his general level of performance has been the epitome of consistent. If Leicester were to find themselves in the promotion picture, then their best midfielder was always going to be pivotal to that.

The 25-year-old is a player who is surprisingly gracing the Championship this term, with many expecting him to have gained a move back to the top-flight over the summer. That's quite clearly Leicester's gain, though. The midfielder is guaranteed to dominate games this term under Enzo Maresca.

However, according to 90min, Premier League sides are exploring the possibility of a deal with the Leicester City midfielder, including Manchester United. Dewsbury-Hall has also previously been linked with the likes of Brighton and Liverpool.

Tottenham Hotspur are the latest side to have made their interest in Dewsbury-Hall known, according to talkSPORT. Arsenal, Brentford and Fulham were linked with a move for him back in January, and at the time, The Athletic reported that Leicester wanted at least £30 million for the player, but a January move didn't materialise in the end.

The midfielder has contributed an impressive 12 goals and 14 assists in 44 games in all competitions for his side as they fight the likes of Leeds United and Ipswich Town for a top two spot in the table, and it was no surprise to see Premier League interest in the January window.

Carlton Palmer's Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall price tag verdict

Ex-England international, Carlton Palmer, is urging the club to place a large price tag on his shoulders, whilst conceding that it still may not be enough when considering the club's current financial position.

Speaking exclusively to Football League World, he said: "Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall is having a fantastic season with Leicester City.

"He's been there since he's been a kid and he loves the football club. He said in January that his priority was not a move away from Leicester City but to stay and get them promotion.

"But his form this season has been outstanding and he's got other clubs following him. "Tottenham are the latest club said to be looking at him. Leicester moved quickly to put a fee of around £30 million his head in the January transfer window. "If he is going to leave Leicester for the likes of Spurs, this summer, then I imagine they'd be looking for a fee of £50-60m. I'm sure of that [if they are promoted]. "Leicester may have to cash-in. They may have to sell Dewsbury-Hall if these charges against them are considered to be just and deserved. "They may have to sell players to fall in line with the financial fair play rules, which is very bad news for the football club. "As a talented young player, they would want to keep him and hopefully build around him. "With promotion back to the Premier League, they'll want to keep their top players to help them stay where the will have got.

"It would be very disappointing for the fans and the rest of the team. I'm sure the manager also doesn't want to lose a player of his ability."

Dewsbury-Hall's Leicester future

Dewsbury-Hall has rightly been handed a nomination for the prestigious EFL award, given the consistency and quality of his performances, as well as his availability.

He will be playing Premier League football next season, one way or another. However, even promotion would not guarantee his future at the King Power, given the club's financial position, which could force them to sell key players.

He's an easy book profit financially for the Foxes, and one that would give the club breathing room in terms of complying with Profit and Sustainability regulations, should a side like Spurs, Manchester United, or Brighton pull the trigger.
