Nothing For Mahrez, Chelsea, Drinkwater & Silva
There's still no news on a bid for Rihad Mahrez despite him supposedly
being in a French airport, but Danny Drinkwater to Chelsea rumbles on -
however we have a replacement.
More on Mahrez later - if anything happens.
The continuing speculation linking England midfielder Danny Drinkwater with a switch to Chelsea continues tonight as the deadline window nears but Leicester have apparently lined up a move for Sporting Lisbon midfielder Adrien Silva should Chelsea meet our price.
Negotiations with the reigning Premier League champions are said to be ongoing according to Sky Sports but whilst there's no movement there - at least for now - Sky also report that we have lined up a deal for Silva should we need to move swiftly to cover Drinkwater's departure.
We were in for the player last year and reportedly had a £25million deal rebuffed by the Portuguese side for the 20 capped Portugal international, but the suggestion is 12 months on we have a £15million deal in place and he has been given permission to leave Portugal's training camp for a medical and personal terms discussions but the whole thing is contingent on us losing Drinkwater first.
This one could go right to the wire.
Update - Drinkwater is at Chelsea's Cobham training ground awaiting permission from Leicester once a deal is presumably agreed, and Silva has turned up at Belvoir Drive in readiness to complete his own potential deal - but the valuation for Drinkwater continues to be an issue.
