Chelsea to continue talks over Danny Drinkwater with Leicester




The Premier League champions have offered £25m for Drinkwater but the two clubs's valuations are still too far apart for agreement and Leicester are understood to want something approaching £40m. Chelsea remain hopeful that a deal can be struck in the next few days and believe Leicester are only delaying a sale while they search for a replacement. It is understood that Drinkwater is interested in the move.
Chelsea are also keen on Arsenal midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Juventus left-back Alex Sandro, Everton's Ross Barkley and Swansea's Fernando Llorente and Antonio Conte made a fresh call for signings after Sunday's 2-0 victory over Ronald Koeman's team.

Leicester, meanwhile, are considering selling their record signing, Islam Slimani, with Monaco, Watford and Marseille launching bids for the Algeria international, but the 2016 champions are adamant that Bournemouth target Demarai Gray will sign a new contract.

Dembele becomes Barca's fifth signing of the summer, along with the arrivals of Marlon Santos, Gerard Deulofeu, Nelson Semedo and Paulinho. Ernesto Valverde has suggested he will not be the last, with the Barca coach saying on Saturday  he hopes to have "an even better team"  when the transfer window...
