Despite having a fine strike force with the likes of Diego Costa, Loic Remy and Didier Drogba, Chelsea had been keen on bolstering their front line with striker Andrej Kramaric. But Leicester City at the bottom of the Barclays Premier League are desperate to find a striker to fire them to safety. Sportsmail's Matt Barlow gives you the lowdown on the 23-year-old from HNK Rijeka. Typical Chelsea, eh? Quick out of the blocks when the market opens, signing reinforcements up front. It's true, they were close to signing Croatia international striker Andrej Kramaric for a fee thought to be around £8million. The deal is not to go ahead this week after being complicated by Premier League Rule V.7.1, which would prevent him from being loaned to Leicester immediately as he was not intended to go into Jose Mourinho's squad this season.

Apparently, @placeholder offered a bigger fee than Chelsea but once Chelsea were interested Kramaric made up his mind that he wanted to move there and agreed personal terms.
