Brentford, Brighton & Hove Albion and Fulham are all reportedly interested in signing Leicester City midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall.

The 25-year-old has been an important figure in Leicester's promotion-winning season, featuring in all but one of his side's 45 Championship matches.

Dewsbury-Hall is sitting in third place in the Championship assist charts, having provided 14 goals for his Leicester teammates this season.

The boyhood Leicester fan has also contributed with 12 league goals of his own, making him Leicester's joint second-highest scorer this season alongside Stephy Mavididi.

Jamie Vardy has four more league goals than Dewsbury-Hall after he scored a brace to clinch the Championship title in Monday's 3-0 win over Preston North End.

Premier League trio chasing Dewsbury-Hall

While Leicester are looking forward to their Premier League return, it is currently unclear whether Dewsbury-Hall will still be playing for the club next season.

According to the Daily Mail, Brentford, Brighton and Fulham are showing an interest in Dewsbury-Hall ahead of the summer transfer window.

Brentford and Brighton were previously linked with a move in January, but the 25-year-old ultimately stayed put to help Leicester earn promotion.

The report claims that Leicester have set a £30m asking price for a player who has a contract until the summer of 2027.

Do Leicester need to sell?

Leicester are already bracing themselves for a points deduction next term after breaching the Premier League's Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR) last season.

They are also at risk of breaching the EFL's PSR for the current campaign and may need to sell players before June 30 to avoid falling foul of the regulations.

As a result, the Foxes could look to sell Dewsbury-Hall because as an academy graduate, his sale would generate pure profit.

Leicester may also consider some of their other academy products, including Hamza Choudhury, Ben Nelson and Sammy Braybrooke.

Enzo Maresca's side will conclude their successful Championship campaign with a home clash against Blackburn Rovers on Saturday.
