The inside track on the football stories that matter
Everton’s former chief Keith Wyness has claimed Leicester City will be forced to sell “two or three top players” this summer., the 66-year-old – who served as CEO at Goodison Park between 2004 and 2009 and now runs a football consultancy advising elite clubs – suggested the Foxes will be forced to replace those stars with “young players and Championship signings”.
Leicester were charged with a breach of the Premier League’s Profitability and Sustainability Rules in March and face a points deduction in the 2024-25 campaign. The Foxes reported losses of £89.7million for the 2022-23 campaign and are still in financial bother despite returning to the top flight. Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall is one of the most valuable stars at the King Power Stadium and has been targetted by the likes of Brighton and Tottenham in recent windows.Wyness insisted he has “sympathy” for Leicester’s situation and claimed more should be done to assist clubs in their position.“They’ll have to get the wage bill down at the same time as bringing enough talent in to survive in the Premier League.
“Good luck to them all. I’ve got sympathy with them, as I did with Everton and Nottingham Forest last season, as this is a weakness in the PSR system.“They’re going to have to build a squad with young players and signings from the Championship. They’re going to be very constrained.”
