Chelsea set sights on Leicester City midfielder Danny Drinkwater

Chelsea are interested in Leicester City midfielder Danny Drinkwater. Manager Antonio Conte wants to bolster his options following the sale of Nemanja Matic to Manchester United and has drawn up a list of targets. 

Drinkwater, who would also boost Chelsea's homegrown contingent, signed a four year contract at Leicester and is key to Craig Shakespeare's plans. 

Though he would be interested in a move to Chelsea he is conscious he could end up with a peripheral role as Conte aims to pair Tiemoue Bakayoko with N'Golo Kante as his midfield engine room of choice.
