Leicester City star Danny Drinkwater has handed in a transfer request to the club as he wants to force a move to champions Chelsea before the close of the transfer window.
The Englishman has seriously been linked with the Blues recently with Antonio Conte identifying him as a great player that will help him at Stamford Bridge.
Since the departure of Nemanja Matic to Manchester United, Chelsea have been looking for a replacement, and Conte has been under serious pressure.

Drinkwater's move to Chelsea will come as a big relieve for Antonio Conte after Arsenal star Alex Chamberlain turned down a mega move to Stamford Bridge.
