It only seems like a matter of when and where in the speculation surrounding the future of Riyad Mahrez at Leicester City. The Algerian was on the cusp of leaving the King Power Stadium in January after a number of Premier League clubs including Chelsea were reportedly interested in acquiring his services.

Puel had earlier revealed that he would be happy if he can keep his best players at the club at least until the end of the current season. The performance from Mahrez wouldn't have gone unnoticed and if Chelsea are actually considering a bid for the winger in the next transfer window, there might be very little that can go wrong in the deal for both parties.

Another player who could be on Chelsea's wishlist for the summer is Wilfred Ndidi who was signed from Genk as a replacement for the outgoing Kante, who joined Chelsea in 2016. Ndidi was rock solid at the centre of the park for the Foxes on the night and managed to cause all kinds of problems for Chelsea, who could do well with a player like him accompanying Kante in the foreseeable future.
