Danny Drinkwater has been left in the dark over his future with Chelsea yet to follow up a £15 million bid that Leicester City rejected earlier this summer.

Telegraph Sport can reveal that Chelsea failed with an offer of just £15m for Drinkwater some weeks ago and the Premier League champions are yet to make a second bid. Leicester do not want to sell Drinkwater and believed the £15m bid was well below what the 27-year-old is worth in today’s market.

Drinkwater is valued at over £30m by Leicester, but Chelsea are yet to return with a second offer and the player is not involved in any talks. It is understood Drinkwater would be interested in a switch to Stamford Bridge, but Chelsea have been considering a move for a number of midfield targets.
