      Leicester currently sit 19th in the league, two points from safety and could freshen up their squad over the summer.
      Ex-Blues captain Terry could use his links to his former club and help them pinch a number of their players.
      Chelsea are preparing to sell several stars with owner Todd Boehly expected to continue his overhaul.
      The likes of Trevoh Chalobah and Ruben Loftus-Cheek could see their days numbered after both have failed to nail down starting spots this season.

      Conor Gallagher could also be on the move after not winning over Chelsea fans this term.
      In Boehly’s huge cull, players such as Mason Mount, Hakim Ziyech, Christian Pulisic and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang could all depart, but they would be unlikely to join Leicester.
      Armando Broja is currently sidelinded with a long-term ACL injury and he is not predicted to get many minutes when he is back fit.
      Chelsea will surely spend big money on a striker this summer and Broja is the type of young and quick attacker Smith could want.

      How Leicester could line-up with Conor Gallagher and Trevoh Chalobah in the team
      Jamie Vardy’s best days are behind him aged 36, meanwhile, Patson Daka and Kelechi Iheanacho have not bagged enough goals this season with seven in the league between them.
      Another set to leave Stamford Bridge is Callum Hudson-Odoi.
      The winger has not impressed on loan at Bayer Leverkusen, netting once in 21 games.
      However, he has undoubted talent and could receive a new lease of life back in the Prem with Leicester.
      Smith could also want a new winger if Tete’s loan deal cannot be made permanent from Shakhtar Donestk.
      Leicester’s line-up for next season could look very different if they are relegated, with James Maddison and Harvey Barnes set to be big name exits.
      And Youri Tielemans is set to leave with his contract expiring within months.
      Leicester could also be interested in Armando Broja More

      Chelsea agreed a deal worth £10million for Felix – who is set to return to Spain in the summer.

      And he started just seven of their 16 league matches this season before being loaned out. More

      One of the stars they are most linked with is Harry Kane at Spurs.

      AS report that another meeting is scheduled for the coming weeks with Chelsea keen to push forward with the deal.
      Gavi only recently signed a new contract at the Nou Camp, keeping him at the club until 2026.

      If the issue is not resolved then the midfielder could leave on a free transfer at the end of the season as his contract will be void.

      Barcelona supposedly remain relaxed about the situation and Gavi does not want to leave the club.
      Yet, the player is reportedly frustrated over the way the matter has been handled.
      Chelsea could offer much more than Barca would be able to and could hand Gavi a huge signing-on fee.

      Gavi is a wonderkid, who has played 87 times for the club and been capped by Spain on 19 occasions.

      Neves has been eyeing a move away for the past 18 months with Champions League football a priority, rejecting several extension offers so far.
      However, SunSport understands Wolves are preparing a last-gasp attempt to stop the 26-year-old leaving for a cut-price fee.
      With European interest in Neves cooling as of late, the player may be resigned to finally signing.
      But his wage demands exceeding £100k-a-week will be the main sticking point.

      Neves is also prepared to wait until the club can guarantee top flight safety – with Wolves currently four points off the drop with eight games remaining.
      Arsenal were previously monitoring the situation, while Manchester United have come close to nabbing the £40m-rated playmaker on two separate occasions.
      United boss Erik ten Hag was a big fan upon his arrival at Old Trafford last summer, and could still make a move for the player should other targets fall flat.
      Neves was reportedly seeking a move under former coach Bruno Lage, who managed to keep hold of the player last summer before getting the sack in October.

      Neves has started every Prem game he has been available for since the end of the World Cup back in December.
      Spanish giants Barcelona and Real Madrid have also been keeping tabs on Neves. More
