The England international joined Leicester from boyhood club Manchester United for an undisclosed fee in 2012
A return to Old Trafford was then mooted last year in the aftermath of Leicester’s upsetting of the apple cart under Claudio Ranieri.
Now, it’s said The Champions are seriously interested in the 27-year-old midfielder and want to sign him this summer
However, it is said Leicester would not sanction the departure of both their centre-midfielders following the Foxes’ title success.
Now, though, The blues are ready again to return for Drinkwater, and he is also very eager to make the move.
The Mirror report that Drinkwater is prepared to tell Leicester he wants to join Chelsea this month.
