"Leicester City" defender Danny Drinkwater has handed in an official transfer request, writes football news portal Goal.com correspondent Nizaar Kinsella. The Englishman wants to move to "Chelsea" in London. However, the two clubs still cannot agree on the transfer fee, and the latest two offers from the "blues" were rejected. The "Foxes" are hoping to receive 40 million pounds sterling for one of their key players. Nevertheless, "Chelsea" will seek to negotiate and reduce the transfer fee to 30 million, and the 27-year-old midfielder's request should help towards this goal. Drinkwater has not played any games for "Leicester City" team this season. Within the ranks of the capital club, he should replace the departed defensive midfielder Nemanja Matic to "Manchester United," as Nathaniel Chalobah has moved to "Watford." Additionally, Drinkwater will help the "blues" address the issue of local players - in the last two "Premier League" matches, there was not a single Englishman in the team's lineup."
