Croatian striker Andrej Kramaric is in London to discuss a move to Chelsea or Leicester City . Kramaric, in action against Italy for Croatia, could be lining up for Chelsea or Leicester in the Premier League . The 23-year-old has managed to score 28 goals for Rijeka so far this season in the Croatian HNL . Chelsea could not commit to that and Leicester have taken control by offering extra bonus payments. Leicester, who are also keen on signing Tottenham defender Kyle Naughton this month, have made offers for Toronto's Jermain Defoe, Mainz striker Shinji Okazaki and Burnley's Danny Ings. They also had a £750,000 offer for Wigan's Shaun Maloney rejected.
