All the latest Leicester City transfer news from LeicestershireLive as Steve Cooper looks to rebuild the Foxes.
Leicester City’s intentions to balance the books appear to have been effective, with Chelsea likely to seal the £30 million signing of Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall.
The agreement will allow Steve Cooper and the City board to proceed with rebuilding plans for the upcoming season, as the new manager seeks to imprint his own identity on the club’s return to the Premier League.
Golding a target
Michael Golding is expected to join Leicester City from Chelsea in a transaction that is distinct from Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall’s £30 million transfer to Stamford Bridge.
Golding, an 18-year-old England youth player, has been with Chelsea for six years and made his senior debut in the FA Cup in January. Despite only being on the pitch for nine minutes, he came close to scoring and setting up a goal.
He has captained England and Chelsea at junior level, and the Evening Standard described him earlier this year as “an attacking midfielder with good leadership skills,” while his pen pic for England’s under-17s Euros squad last winter read: “One of three brothers in professional clubs’ setups, Golding is another who can play in multiple positions and has been very consistent this season.”
The move follows a significant progress in talks between Leicester and Cheslea over 25-year-old midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall. The Leicester City star is expected to go to London for a physical ahead of a £30 million transfer that might resolve the club’s challenges to meet profit and sustainability targets. It is stated that the Golding negotiations are separate from the Dewsbury-Hall agreement.
Leicester are thought to have had a £40 million black hole to plug before the June 30 accounting period deadline, and Chelsea’s £10 million compensation for Enzo Maresca and his coaching staff, along with this potentially forthcoming agreement for Dewsbury-Hall, might push them into the red.
