Leeds United is evaluating the possibility of legal action against Leicester City after an independent disciplinary commission ordered Everton to pay Burnley over £35 million for breaching Premier League Profitability and Sustainability Regulations. Everton was fined £26 million, plus £9.1 million in interest, leading to Burnley being awarded compensation. Leicester, found guilty of similar breaches, had six points deducted last season and currently plays in League One after consecutive relegations.
