Leicester have lodged an appeal after their challenge against the Premier League’s Profitability and Sustainability Rules (PSR) jurisdiction was dismissed.

The newly-promoted side say they are “disappointed” by the decision of an independent commission after challenging the league on the basis they were relegated to the Championship in 2022/23.

The Midlands club face a possible points deduction after the Premier League charged them with an alleged breach of PSR in March.

Sky Sports News’ James Savundra explains what the profit and sustainability rules (PSR) rules are and why it is so important Premier League clubs follow them.

At the same time, the EFL placed the club under a transfer embargo, which was subsequently lifted after promotion.

Leicester were also among the clubs that needed to sell players before June 30 to avoid further breaches of PSR rules, which saw Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall sold to Chelsea.

The Back Pages Tonight panel discuss the Premier League’s PSR rules which have lead to clubs such as Chelsea and Aston Villa being more active in offloading players within their ranks.

“LCFC notes the publication today of the decision of the Premier League Commission,” a statement on Thursday said.

“The club is disappointed with the decision, which does not appear to reflect the wording of the Premier League’s Rules, and has lodged an appeal.”

Chelsea will not need to sell players this month to comply with Premier League Profitability and Sustainability Rules (PSR) but will need to before next year’s deadline.

Sky Sports had previously reported that Chelsea were among some Premier League clubs who may need to sell players before the June 30 deadline, but Chelsea insist this is not the case.

Sky Sports understands Chelsea will need to make sales to keep in line with PSR for the 2024/2025 season, and the cut off for that is next summer, but they are under no pressure to sell this month.

Chelsea meanwhile have also confirmed the signing of Tosin from Fulham on a four-year contract.

The defender completed a medical earlier this week and will arrive at Stamford Bridge on a free transfer when his contract with Fulham officially expires at the end of June.

Tosin rejected several new contract offers at Craven Cottage before agreeing to become the first signing under new Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca.
