Burnley, Leeds and Leicester have confirmed their intention to sue Everton for a total of £300million after the club were found guilty of breaching financial fair play rules. 

Mail Sport has learned that senior figures at the three clubs held talks this afternoon to reaffirm their plans to sue after the Premier League confirmed Everton's guilty verdict and 10-point deduction, the biggest in the competition's history.

The aggrieved trio are understood to have agreed to follow through on their previous threats to sue Everton, which they formulated over the summer after Sean Dyche's side narrowly escaped relegation on the final day of the campaign by just two points. 

Leeds and Leicester were relegated to the Championship and Burnley have leant their support as they remain convinced that Everton's spending breached financial rules the previous season when they were relegated.
