Leicester City are on the lookout for another head coach, with Steve Cooper the latest Premier League manager to lose his job.
The Foxes are on ten points after their first 12 games in the division, sitting just one point above the relegation zone with some far from pretty performances.
With that in mind, Graham Potter is a top managerial target for Leicester, with hopes that the former Brighton and Chelsea manager could bring a swift upturn in results and performances.
The 49-year-old may not bring just that along with him, but there may be some players available to take from Stamford Bridge to the King Power Stadium.
So with that said, here’s a look at three Chelsea players who could make the switch to Leicester in January if Graham Potter lands the top job.

Three players Graham Potter could sign for Leicester from Chelsea
Carney Chukwuemeka
One of the breakout stars under Potter, Carney Chukwuemeka quickly became a key player for Chelsea during his tenure.
Signing from Aston Villa, the midfielder has shown signs of being a top prospect in the Premier League for the future.
Despite that though, injuries saw him out of the frame under Mauricio Pochettino, while Enzo Maresca has yet to start the 21-year-old in any competition this season.
That could pave the way for Chukwuemeka to join Leicester and reunite with Potter, all while reigniting his early career.
Ben Chilwell
Ben Chilwell is far from popular with the Leicester fans after making his big-money move to Chelsea in 2020.
However, left-back is an area that needs strengthening and the 27-year-old is a quality player who is in need of a fresh start somewhere.
Everyone knows the quality that Chilwell possesses when he is fit to play, however his exclusion from the Blues squad shows he is free to leave.
If Leicester can somehow patch up that relationship, put water under the bridge and look forward, then he may be the key to survival and perhaps more moving forward.
Axel Disasi
Defender Axel Disasi is another defensive option who could help solidify the backline at centre-back and right-back.
The 26-year-old has only featured nine times across all competitions for the Blues this season, despite putting in some decent performances at times.
Given the need to build solidity at the back while giving freedom to the forward players to express themselves, Disasi wouldn’t be a bad option – though Chelsea may have to sign cover for him first.
