One Tottenham target has now done the opposite of encourage a move to north London this summer.

There is a clear need for some more reinforcements at Spurs following a recent wobble under Ange Postecoglou, which includes an awful 4-0 loss to Newcastle and a disappointing 3-2 defeat in the north London derby.

Goals seem to have dried up a bit for Tottenham, with James Maddison’s indifferent performances of late highlighting a clear lack of threat coming from central midfield areas.

There are plans to rectify that with a move for one of the most creative midfielders in the Championship, although new comments suggest this deal is unlikely to materialise…

Tottenham target Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall says he wants to stay at Leicester

Well, Tottenham are said to be keen on signing Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall from Leicester this summer, with a price tag of £45m being mentioned.

That is according to talkSPORT.

The Leicester No.22 has shone in the Championship this season with 12 goals and 14 assists in 44 appearances, although he has now poured cold water on a potential move to north London.

Speaking at Leicester’s end of season awards evening after being named Players’ Player of the Season, Dewsbury-Hall said: “I’ve been at this club since I was eight years old. I’ve got no intention of leaving”.

The 25-year-old clearly has a lot of love for the Foxes, and it will undoubtedly be tough to prise him away from the King Power Stadium.

However, Tottenham do have a potential lifeline.

Foxes may be forced to sell

Despite Dewsbury-Hall’s comments, Leicester may still be forced to sell their academy graduate in order to comply with Profit and Sustainability (PSR) regulations, according to Sky Sports.

It is said that Leicester are giving serious thought to selling the Tottenham target – who is friends with Maddison – before June 30th to avoid breaching financial rules.

Clearly, a very interesting situation is developing at the King Power Stadium, as Leicester might end up having to nudge Dewsbury-Hall out of the exit door against his will.

Be sure to keep an eye on this saga, as Spurs could benefit.
