A recent development may have propelled the Foxes ahead of Pierre Dwomoh in the contest.
Leicester City have held personal negotiations with Royal Antwerp midfielder Pierre Dwomoh, according to Belgian reporter Sacha Tavolieri’s update on X.
The Foxes must prepare for life in the Premier League following their Championship title victory, which will not be easy given their financial predicament.
They were penalized with a breach of financial rules earlier this year after losing nearly £90 million during the 2022/23 campaign, and because they broke the rules significantly, they will need to be particularly cautious about how much they spend during the forthcoming summer window.
They may even be obliged to cash in on players during the summer transfer window to avoid future financial problems, and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall is one player who might be moved for a large fee in the coming months.
Dewsbury-Hall shined last season and has three years left on his contract at the King Power Stadium, allowing the Foxes to hold out for a large amount.
Signings will also be required if they want to give themselves the best opportunity of continuing in the top flight, as will a new manager, with Enzo Maresca set to join Chelsea.Despite Maresca’s move to Stamford Bridge, the Foxes appear to be moving forward with their transfer business.
Latest on Pierre Dwomoh amid Leicester City and Luton Town interest
According to reports, Dwomoh and his representatives met with Leicester to negotiate personal conditions, as the Foxes want to make a breakthrough in their recruitment of the midfielder.
However, they are not the only team interested in the 19-year-old, as Luton Town is also reported to be interested in him.
The Hatters were relegated back to the second tier, although they did not spend heavily last season and will profit from parachute payments, which should improve Rob Edwards’ transfer budget for the summer window.
They may be able to afford a move for him, as the current asking price is €3 million. Luton may lose this race if they do not move swiftly, as the Foxes have already begun negotiations about personal terms, and they are also a top-flight team, which may give the Midlands club an advantage.
Pierre Dwomoh has to prioritise game time amid interest from Leicester City and Luton Town.
Given his age, Dwomoh made 33 senior games for Molenbeek across all competitions last season, which is noteworthy.
He has also made senior appearances for various clubs, notably his current club, Royal Antwerp.
And, given his previous first-team experience, the player should be able to adjust quickly to life at the King Power Stadium or Kenilworth Road. Dwomoh should prioritize game time while considering a move this summer.
He will want to settle down and play regularly without having to go out on loan, and a transfer to Luton may provide him a greater opportunity of doing so now that the club has dropped to the second division.
