Trending: Leicester City close in to sign a €3 million target from Luton Town.
A recent event may have helped the Foxes gain ground in the competition for Pierre Dwomoh.
According to an update on X from Belgian writer Sacha Tavolieri, Pierre Dwomoh of Royal Antwerp has held private negotiations with Leicester City.
After winning the Championship title, the Foxes must get ready for life in the Premier League, which won’t be an easy feat given their financial circumstances.
They were accused of breaking financial rules earlier this year after losing around £90 million in the 2022–2023 campaign. Given the severity of the rule infringement, they will need to exercise extraordinary caution when it comes to their summer window spending.
Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall is one player who might be sold for a high price in the upcoming months. They might even be obliged to cash in on players during the summer window in order to prevent more financial violations.
With three years remaining on his King Power Stadium contract and a strong performance in the previous campaign, Dewsbury-Hall should allow the Foxes to demand a high price.
However, in order to give themselves the best opportunity of staying in the top division, they will also need to make some signings. With Enzo Maresca heading to Chelsea, they will also need a new manager.
Maresca moved to Stamford Bridge, but the Foxes appear to be continuing their transfer activity.
Current Pierre Dwomoh news amid interest from Luton Town and Leicester City
Dwomoh and his representatives reportedly met with Leicester to talk about personal terms as the Foxes want to make progress in their pursuit of the midfield player.
But Luton Town is rumored to be interested in the 19-year-old as well, so they’re not the only team interested in him.
Despite their relegation to the second division, the Hatters did not overspend in the previous campaign, and they will get parachute payments, which will increase Rob Edwards’ transfer budget for the summer transfer window.
They could potentially afford a move for him, with €3 million the current price tag being discussed.
Luton may lose this race if they don’t move quickly though, with the Foxes having the advantage of already engaging in talks regarding personal terms, and they are also a top-flight team which could put the Midlands club at an advantage.
Given the interest from Luton Town and Leicester City, Pierre Dwomoh needs to prioritize playing time.
It’s remarkable that Dwomoh made 33 senior appearances for Molenbeek across all competitions last term, especially given his age.
In addition, he has senior appearance records from other clubs, like as Royal Antwerp, where he currently plays.

Yellow Cards | 7 |
It shouldn’t take the athlete too long to get used to life at Kenilworth Road or King Power Stadium because he has prior first-team experience.
When thinking about moving this summer, Dwomoh needs to put his gaming time first.
Considering that Luton has recently dropped to the second division, a move there may offer him a greater chance of settling down and playing frequently without having to go out on loan.
