Danny Drinkwater has expressed his "disappointment" after finally leaving Chelsea after five years on the club's books.
The midfielder endured a horror spell at Stamford Bridge, making just 23 appearances amid loan moves to Burnley, Aston Villa Reading and Turkish side Kasimpasa as he sought to get his best form back. Drinkwater cost the Blues £35m back in 2017, shortly after playing a starring role in Leicester City's title triumph.
His move saw him rekindle his partnership with N'Golo Kante. But whilst the Frenchman has gone from strength to strength, Drinkwater's career has notably declined. The player himself claimed "the list of excuses could be endless" but attempted to take the positives from his time at Chelsea.
