Chelsea are preparing to make a new offer for Leicester City midfielder Danny Drinkwater.

The Telegraph says Chelsea are preparing to make a second bid for Drinkwater.

The Blues want another midfielder after selling Nemanja Matic to Manchester United.

Tiemoue Bakayoko will miss the start of the season with an injury leaving Chelsea short in the middle.

And Drinkwater, despite being injured himself, is wanted by Antonio Conte.

The Blues will make a bid in excess of £25m and will look to make at least three new signings before the window closes.
