Leicester City’s incredible season in the Championship so far has seen several of their players skyrocket in value, and one of those is Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall.
Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall is having an excellent campaign at Leicester and is carrying their baton towards the Premier League.
The 25-year-old has wowed the majority with his performances having eclipsed double figures for goals and assists, which – of course – has prompted interest in his signature.
In January, it was reported that Brighton were heading the list of clubs who wanted to sign Dewsbury-Hall and although his departure in winter was near impossible, Arsenal are now said to be weighing up a possible move in the summer.
Mikel Arteta wants to bolster his midfield as he anticipates the departure of Thomas Partey and the Leicester academy graduate is seen as a perfect fit in the engine room, potentially partnering with Declan Rice.
Dewsbury-Hall, however, isn’t the only Foxes player to have garnered interest on the back of his impressive performances.
Patson Daka, who was captured from RB Leipzig for £23m in 2021, has also drawn attention from elsewhere.
Real Betis want to sign Patson Daka
According to Spanish outlet Estadio Deportivo, Real Betis considered a move for Daka in January and could revive that in the summer.
The report states that Betis are eyeing the 25-year-old Leicester striker as a replacement for Borja Iglesias, who departed on loan to Bayer Leverkusen in the winter window.
While Daka was one of several drafted up onto their transfer shortlist, the Zambian ‘stood out’ and Manuel Pellegrini did test the possibility of signing him before landing his priority target, Chimy Avila.
He remains on the agenda of Betis heading into the summer, which could see them test Leicester’s resolve once more.
Leicester have to keep Daka
It took Daka till the middle of December to start his first Championship game of the season and he marked the occasion by scoring and assisting in a 4-0 thrashing of Plymouth Argyle.
The Zambian sharpshooter has since plundered five goals and two assists with a trip to AFCON sandwiched in between.
In the lead-up to his purple patch across the festive period, Daka’s departure from the club wouldn’t have surprised anybody, but now he’s arguably Enzo Maresca’s first-choice striker and Leicester have to keep him.
He fits perfectly into the Italian’s system as a pressing forward and he’s gobbling up most opportunities that are presented on his plate.
Leicester are financially secured by the fact his contract doesn’t expire till June 2026, so any sale would command a decent fee, however, he could be a big player in the Premier League next term, should they get there.
