It is understood that Brighton have been in talks with the Foxes over a possible move for Dewsbury-Hall, however, the Seagulls have been put off any move due to the price tag.
No chance.
Considering Everton’s issues with FFP, there is no chance that Everton make any advancements on their initial interest in the Leicester midfielder unless any of their own players leave before the transfer window shuts.
A possible departure of Amadou Onana would open up funds for a brand-new signing. However, that looks evermore unlikely as 1 February continues to draw closer.
Beating other Premier League sides to the signature of Dewsbury-Hall would be an incredible coup, though, and could be a move that is much more likely to happen in the summer.
As a box-to-box midfielder, the 25-year-old has gone from strength to strength in the Championship, registering nine goals and nine assists in the league so far this season. It is by far his best season in a Leicester shirt to date, leading his club to the top of the Championship table.
Dewsbury-Hall will be a player to keep an eye on in the summer, even if Leicester do complete their bid for Premier League promotion in the second half of the season, with bigger teams likely to be open to a £40million bid in the next transfer window.
