How Leicester could line up if Dean Smith stays with John Terry using his Chelsea connections to bring in stars
LEICESTER could line-up with a number of Chelsea stars in their team for next season if they stay in the Premier League.
The Foxes have just appointed Dean Smith as manager with John Terry as his assistant after the sacking of Brendan Rodgers.
Leicester currently sit 19th in the league, two points from safety and could freshen up their squad over the summer.
Ex-Blues captain Terry could use his links to his former club and help them pinch a number of their players.
Chelsea are preparing to sell several stars with owner Todd Boehly expected to continue his overhaul.
The likes of Trevoh Chalobah and Ruben Loftus-Cheek could see their days numbered after both have failed to nail down starting spots this season.

Conor Gallagher could also be on the move after not winning over Chelsea fans this term.
In Boehly's huge cull, players such as Mason Mount, Hakim Ziyech, Christian Pulisic and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang could all depart, but they would be unlikely to join Leicester.
Armando Broja is currently sidelinded with a long-term ACL injury and he is not predicted to get many minutes when he is back fit.
Chelsea will surely spend big money on a striker this summer and Broja is the type of young and quick attacker Smith could want.

Jamie Vardy's best days are behind him aged 36, meanwhile, Patson Daka and Kelechi Iheanacho have not bagged enough goals this season with seven in the league between them.
Another set to leave Stamford Bridge is Callum Hudson-Odoi.
The winger has not impressed on loan at Bayer Leverkusen, netting once in 21 games.
However, he has undoubted talent and could receive a new lease of life back in the Prem with Leicester.
Smith could also want a new winger if Tete's loan deal cannot be made permanent from Shakhtar Donestk.
Leicester's line-up for next season could look very different if they are relegated, with James Maddison and Harvey Barnes set to be big name exits.
And Youri Tielemans is set to leave with his contract expiring within months.
