Leicester and Chelsea have a number of players with a past and present in both camps. The number of players that has switched between these two clubs are a grand number
Ben Chilwell and Wesley Fofana are the two latest additions in this group, both being massive sales to Chelsea from Leicester and being part of a group of four until now to have joined in recent time and seen some heavy fee’s being payed.
N’Golo Kantè and Danny Drinkwater are of course known but also in other decades players switch between Chelsea and Leicester. Some were great heroes at Chelsea, others at Leicester City. Dennis Wise and David Speedie both being in these two clubs but with short life with Leicester and happier days at Stamford Bridge
Dennis Rofe and Keith Weller both comes to mind, so does Alan Birchenall, who all three were part of a great Leicester City team in the 70’s. Not to forget Steve Kember either who also had a good few seasons at Filbert Street.
Harry Worley and Muzzy Izzet are two players that moved from the reserves at Chelsea and on to Leicester City. Izzet with great success, Worley more limited as we all can remember. Jeffrey Bruma and Patrick Van Aanholt were both on loan from Chelsea, during the days of “Svennis” and we also would like to mention Frank Sinclair.
Mostly remembered for his days at Chelsea, David Webb is one to get the attention, but at Leicester City he never managed to influence much, coming to the club late in his career joining from Queens Park Rangers. Robert Huth and Mark Schwarzer er recent players who have been in both camps as well.
