Southampton could look to revive their interest in Chelsea midfielder Danny Drinkwater during the January transfer window, but face competition from Leicester.
The Express claims that both clubs are keeping tabs on the player’s situation with his Chelsea future looking bleak.
Several clubs were linked with a move to sign Drinkwater throughout the summer, but no deal materialised.
West Ham and Leicester were linked with a move to sign the England international, but he was keen to fight for his Chelsea future.
The return of Ruben Loftus-Cheek, as well as the arrivals of both Mateo Kovacic and Jorginho, mean that regular game time at Stamford Bridge is highly unlikely for the former Leicester man.
Chelsea had been open to selling the player permanently, but with clubs unwilling to meet their asking price for the midfielder they forked out £35 million for, a loan deal appears the most likely outcome.
