#5 Danny Drinkwater
The Manchester United academy product never really had a chance to play at the Theater of Dreams while he was rising through the ranks. He had games for the likes of Cardiff, Huddersfield, Watford and Barnsley with whom he enjoyed loan spells but the big honour of making his debut for the Manchester United first team evaded him.
When Leicester signed him, they were a championship team and today they are out there fighting for the premier league title and over a dozen points ahead of his boyhood club. Danny Drinkwater has been a driving force in the Leicester midfield as he continues to keep up his impressive form from the last few years to prove to the world that the Red half of Manchester should’ve given him a chance to prove himself at the highest level.
In the meantime, Drinkwater has courted interest from clubs around the Premier League since his rise to prominence and it is expected that once the dust around Leicester’s title charge ( and hopefully title win) settles, he will be one of the players who will interest a variety of top clubs both home and abroad.
The 26-year-old has really had it tough and it seems that all his hard work is about to come through for him. What he must decide in the summer is if all that he has achieved so far, is enough for him to continue his adventure with ‘The Foxes’.
