Chelsea yet to receive any offers for Danny Drinkwater

According to the Evening Standard, Chelsea are yet to receive any official offers for out-of-favour midfielder Danny Drinkwater.

Drinkwater joined the Blues from Leicester City in 2017 for £35m, however the midfielder has played just 23 times since his arrival at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri has made it clear that Drinkwater is not in his plans and that he is free to leave the club this month, though any potential suitors are yet to step forward.

It is believed that no permanent of loan offers to take the 28-year-old away from Stamford Bridge.

Drinkwater’s £100,000-a-week wages are proving to be a huge stumbling block for interested parties, with no club willing to match the England international’s current wages.

Last season saw the midfielder struggle with thigh, groin and calf injuries, but he has been fully fit for the majority of this season.

He is still training with the Chelsea first-team squad but looks unlikely to work his way into Sarri’s plans at all.

    matchday.
