Everton, Crystal Palace, and Newcastle United are all interested in the services of Leicester City attacking sensation Kasey McAteer.
According to a report from Football Insider, Kasey McAteer’s impressive performances for Leicester City in the Championship have resulted in a lot of interest from clubs in England. Everton, Crystal Palace and Newcastle United are keen on having him in their squads.
McAteer has been a part of the Foxes since his childhood days. He has come up the ranks at the club and was promoted to their first team ahead of the ongoing season. The player has featured in 23 league games in his debut season and has played a big part in their title-winning campaign.
He has started in 13 of those Championship games and has scored six goals in just over 1,100 minutes of first-team football. The 22-year-old right winger’s impressive performances have resulted in a lot of interest in his services.
Kasey McAteer could leave Leicester City
With McAteer’s contract running out in the summer of 2025 and a new deal not on the table yet, his future at the club is uncertain. Leicester City might look to cash in on him due to their ongoing financial struggles.
While the Foxes’ immediate return to the Premier League will result in financial benefits, they have been charged with breaching profit and sustainability rules. It could result in a points deduction upon their promotion to the top flight.
In order to balance their books, they could look to sanction the departure of their homegrown prospect because of the fact that he can generate a higher price tag. The funds raised from his departure will represent 100 per cent profit which will help them significantly.
Premier League clubs keen on Kasey McAteer
Everton, Crystal Palace, and Newcastle United are all looking to make the best out of Leicester City’s financial situation. The Eagles have a strong history of signing top talents from the Championship. They have already added Eberechi Eze, Michael Olise, and Adam Wharton to their ranks in recent years and McAteer could be another great addition.
Everton and Newcastle United have financial struggles of their own. But they are looking at ways to reinforce their squad and the 22-year-old represents a great opportunity. He has shown great signs of promise during his debut season at Leicester City and could do wonders for them in the long run.
