Leicester appear to have held on to Riyad Mahrez and Demarai Gray as the transfer window closed but saw England midfielder Danny Drinkwater depart to Chelsea for a club-record fee.

Drinkwater's move to the Premier League champions was officially confirmed more than two hours after Thursday's 11pm transfer deadline had passed, with the 27-year-old signing a five-year contract with the Blues where he will be reunited with former Foxes midfield colleague N'Golo Kante.

A Foxes statement read: "Leicester City football Club has agreed a deal for the transfer of midfielder Danny Drinkwater to Chelsea for a club-record fee.

"Leicester wishes to express its gratitude to Danny for his contribution to the team's achievements over the past five years, as he leaves with the best wishes of everyone at the football club."
