DRINKWATER SIGNS IN Burnley Football Club is delighted to have completed the capture of Danny Drinkwater to add another Premier League winner to their squad. Drinkwater – a key player in Leicester City’s epic 2016 title triumph – has joined the Clarets on loan from Chelsea in a deal running until 6 January. The central midfield player, who has also been capped three times by England, returns to the North West after starting his career at Manchester United.

After helping Leicester recover to finish 14th in the Premier League in 2016/17, Drinkwater was signed by champions Chelsea at the end of the 2017 summer transfer window – leaving the King Power Stadium after playing 214 times for the Foxes. In his first season at Stamford Bridge, Drinkwater made 22 appearances, helping the Blues towards their FA Cup-winning success and featuring in a last-16 Champions League tie against Barcelona. He then appeared as a substitute in the 2018 Community Shield at Wembley before falling out of first-team contention under n
