Danny Drinkwater was signed by Chelsea in the summer of 2017 for the sum of £35m and despite his arrival not garnering many headlines, there was the little undertone that it would signal the reunion with N'golo Kante of Leicester's midfield in their title-winning campaign of 2016.

A thigh injury meant his debut was delayed, but since then, Drinkwater has not done anything for the Chelsea cause and is bound to go down as one of the least impactful signings in Chelsea's history.

The 28-year-old made just 12 Premier League appearances in his debut season, but this season, that figure has dropped to zero, with his only appearance in all competitions this season coming over eight months ago in the Community Shield loss to Manchester City.

Sarri has made it explicitly clear that he has no space for Danny Drinkwater, with many clubs having been interested in his services during the winter window (which all failed to go through). However, with the transfer window opening up in a few months, there would be no prizes for guessing that Drinkwater would no longer be a Chelsea player come August (despite the transfer ban).
