Chelsea midfielder to leave Stamford Bridge

Chelsea midfielder, Danny Drinkwater, could return to his former club Leicester City in Janaury.

The Sun UK reports that Drinkwater could return to the King Power Stadium, after failing to establish himself at Stamford Bridge.

The 28-year-old cost Chelsea £35million when he joined from the Foxes last summer.

However, new manager, Maurizio Sarri, is willing to let him leave on a temporary basis.

Leicester had hoped to sign Drinkwater in the summer, when West Ham were also interested, but may face competition from Southampton in the next window.
