A return to Leicester City could be on for Chelsea midfielder Danny Drinkwater.

The Mirror says the midfielder's name is being circulated among Premier League clubs as he appears not to be in the plans of new boss Maurizio Sarri.

Chelsea eventually sealed a £35m deal for the England international on deadline day last summer.

But injuries beset his first season at Stamford Bridge and he started just five matches in the Premier League.

He left Leicester City under a cloud – however, despite that the 28-year-old may well find forgiveness among the Foxes' support-base if he was to make a return to the King Power Stadium.

But Southampton and Crystal Palace would also be interested in a loan if Chelsea were willing to do a deal.
