Chelsea to test Leicester City with an improved offer for Danny Drinkwater

Chelsea are readying an improved offer worth £32 million to sign Danny Drinkwater from Leicester City – that’s according to an exclusive report by The Sun.

Leicester City are understood to be looking at something close to £40 million, however, and are fully prepared to reject any offer that they may receive before the Deadline Day.

Although Chelsea have brought in Tiemoue Bakayoko to replace Nemanja Matic, they are well short of numbers on the bench, with just 14 experienced players available. Danny Drinkwater won’t only solve that problem, but also offer a lot of quality, making him the perfect signing in every way.

The 27-year old only recently signed a new contract with the Foxes, and interestingly, it doesn’t have a buyout clause at all, meaning that the East Midlands outfit can just name their price and the reigning Champions would have to pay it if ind

Chelsea are also interested in signing Jamie Vardy from Leicester City. Vardy began his 2017/18 Premier League season with a proper bang, scoring a terrific brace against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium as the 30-year old nearly earned Leicester City an unlikely away win.

The 30-year old looked pretty sharp in the following game against Brighton and Hove Albion too, and that has convinced the his nibs at Chelsea that he’s the perfect man to replace wantaway Diego Costa.

As you’d expect, Leicester City won’t really entertain any offers for the England international – not this late into the transfer window anyway – but if Chelsea come calling with a big money offer, you never know how quickly can things change.
