Leicester City have made an initial approach to sign Chelsea defender Gary Cahill, the Daily Mail reports.

The 32-year-old centre-back’s Stamford Bridge future appears uncertain given Andreas Christensen’s rise and the likelihood of Daniele Rugani arriving as one of Maurizio Sarri’s marquee signings from Juventus.

The Foxes have already acquired the signature of Jonny Evans on a cut-price fee from West Brom but want to strengthen further given there is speculation star man Harry Maguire could be subject of interest from Manchester United.

The future of one of England’s big World Cup stars could have an impact on the Cahill deal and whether Claude Puel’s side pursue their interest in the former Bolton man further.
