Former Leicester Star Danny Drinkwater Leaves Chelsea After Injuries, Poor Form

England midfielder, Danny Drinkwater has described his stint at Chelsea as a “business move gone wrong for both parties”.

Drinkwater who is 32 years old, announced that he’s leaving Chelsea in an Instagram post on Thursday May 26. In the post he also apologized to Chelsea supporters for how the move turned out.

Drinkwater, who was in Leicester City’s 2016 title winning side, joined Chelsea via £35 million contract.

However injuries, change of managers and bad form has cleaned a bit of his star shine off in recent years.

On the IG page, Drinkwater wrote;

“My time at Chelsea FC has come to an end.

“(It) actually feels really strange writing this. Me, the club and fans are hugely disappointed with the outcome there is no doubt about that.

“Injuries, how I have been treated, mistakes I have made, issues of the pitch, lack of game time… the list of excuses could be endless but I would not and can not change what’s happened.

“I’m going to look at positives over the past 5 years, I have played with great players, coached by awesome managers, worked with some brilliant staff, met some fantastic people, lived in some beautiful places, travelled the world and won some more silverware.

“Football is a fantastic sport but this for both parties was a business move gone wrong, it’s as black and white as that.

“To the Chelsea fans I apologise for how this has turned out I would have loved for you to see me at my best in that shirt doing what I love.”
