Your morning Chelsea transfer round-up on Friday, June 2.

Maddison twist

Leicester City midfielder James Maddison is reportedly interested in playing in London, handing a boost for Chelsea.

The England international is wanted by Arsenal, Tottenham and Newcastle. But according to CBS Sports' Ben Jacobs, the playmaker's preference to play in the capital could provide a twist to the saga with Chelsea.

"I expect Newcastle will be there but I expect there will be a twist in all of this because Maddison is very intrigued by the big London clubs," he said."
