Leicester issue legal proceedings against Premier League and EFL
Leicester respond to action taken against them by leaguesEFL imposes transfer embargo but club calls it ‘premature’
Leicester City have issued legal proceedings against the Premier League and English Football League after being dismayed by the action taken by the two organisations. Leicester are facing the potential double whammy of being docked points by both leagues owing to alleged financial breaches.
Leicester, who were relegated from the top flight last season, have been placed under a transfer embargo by the EFL for allegedly exceeding the upper loss threshold in their profitability and sustainability calculations relating to the 2023-24 season.
