manchester united They are reportedly interested in signing Leicester City star Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall this summer, according to the transfer journalist Ben Jacobs.
After being relegated with the Foxes last season, the 25-year-old has enjoyed a stellar campaign in the Championship this season, scoring 10 goals and registering 12 assists in 36 appearances.
Leicester have had a great season so far, sitting second in the table with 82 points from 37 games. They are currently in the mix to secure their place in the first division next season and Dewsbury-Hall has played a key role in Enzo Maresca's starting XI.
So, it seems that the Englishman's impressive performances in the Championship have not gone unnoticed, with the Red Devils already showing interest in signing him ahead of the summer window.
writing in 90 minutes, Jacobs has reported that Manchester United are interested in signing Dewsbury-Hall and have already held talks with the player's representatives to find out the details of his signing.
Dewsbury-Hall to Man Utd
The journalist further claims that Leicester do not want to sell the midfielder but could be forced to cash in on him this summer to stay on the right side of the FFP rules as they have allegedly breached them.
Jacobs He also claims that Leicester would demand a fee of around £40m if they win promotion, but if they remain in the Championship next season, Man Utd could manage to acquire his service for a fee of around £25m.
However, the journalist says that Brighton and Hove Albion are also interested in signing him and are ready to make the move for him this summer. Besides, Jacobs claims Brentford are also planning a raid for him, so the Red Devils will face stiff competition from their rivals to secure any potential deal for Dewsbury-Hall.
The Leicester star is a talented player and could be a shrewd signing for Man Utd if they buy him. However, Dewsbury-Hall does not have much experience playing at the highest level, so there are doubts over whether he would be the right choice to help the Red Devils achieve their lofty ambitions in the future.
However, it will be interesting to see if the record Premier League champions ultimately opt to take a concrete approach to acquiring his service in the upcoming transfer window.
