Leicester City midfielder Danny Drinkwater is set to force a move to Chelsea, according to The Mirror.
The report claims that Drinkwater is keen on a move to Chelsea and will tell Leicester that he wants to leave the club.
Drinkwater played Champions League football for Leicester last season but was underwhelming in the league as the club finished in the bottom half of the Premier League table.
This was after Drinkwater was a crucial part of their unbelievable title success in the 2015/16 season.
Drinkwater played a pivotal role in central midfield as Leicester stormed their way to an unlikely Premier League title, with many seeing it as one of the greatest sporting achievements of the century.
The report also claims that Chelsea wanted to sign Drinkwater last summer but Leicester were unwilling to let him and N’Golo Kante join the Blues.
Chelsea have already added one new central midfielder to their side this summer. Tiemoue Bakayoko has joined from AS Monaco.
Nemanja Matic signed for Manchester United on Monday, leaving a gap in the squad.
