According to a report by Football Insider, Leicester face another charge after sources told them that they fell “well short” of the spending limit despite earning around £40million from both manager Enzo Maresca and midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall joining Chelsea in June.
The club were deemed a Premier League outfit when they submitted their accounts for the new period on June 30th once again, and therefore can be charged once again if they are found to have breached the rules for a second time.
Everton were deducted points on two occasions last season for separate PSR breaches, totalling eight points, while Nottingham Forest also had four points deducted from their tally for a similar breach. The belief is that Leicester would also incur a points deduction if found guilty, as the Premier League look to be consistent in their punishments after criticism last season.
New manager Steve Cooper will see any points taken off his team as a huge blow to their survival hopes, with the Foxes having claimed just one point from their opening three fixtures after a draw with Tottenham was followed up by defeats to Aston Villa and Fulham.
Currently Cooper’s side sit in 15th place in the Premier League table, with three goals scored and five conceded. They will face Crystal Palace, Everton and Arsenal in their next three league fixtures after the international break.
