Dewsbury-Hall has been playing for Leicester since he was eight years old, but could move to west London in the summer.
Chelsea are the latest club to show interest in his services. The midfielder is valued at £35 million and a move would see him reunited with head coach Enzo Maresca.
The Pitch Prospect also reported that Brighton remained interested in him after a failed move during the January transfer window.
Dewsbury-Hall has made 129 appearances for Leicester in all competitions, making his senior debut in January 2020.

He was named in the 2023/24 Championship team and was voted the best player of the season by Foxes fans and players.
In the victorious season, Dewsbury-Hall played 49 games under Maresca, who has since moved to Stamford Bridge.
At the beginning of June, the Italian’s move as the new head coach of Chelsea FC was confirmed.
Given the success Maresca has had with Dewsbury-Hall, it probably wouldn’t be a surprise if the two potentially collaborated again.
