5 players who could leave Chelsea in January

#3 Danny Drinkwater

The forgotten man Danny Drinkwater

Danny Drinkwater joined Chelsea for a whopping £40 Million from Leicester City as the Blues were looking to replace Nemanja Matic who joined their rivals Manchester United. Antonio Conte was looking to reunite the English man with his former Leicester City midfield partner Ngolo Kante who had joined Chelsea in the previous season.

Things have not gone as expected for the midfielder as he as only made 12 League appearances for the Blues across two seasons with all of them being in the last season as he has not featured for Chelsea in the Premier League this season under Sarri.

At 28 years, Drinkwater is not supposed to be stuck in the bench like he is at Chelsea but is supposed to enjoying his football as this is the time he is to be at the pinnacle of his career.

Sarri admitted that the midfielder does not fit into his preferred formation and could leave if he wishes to. This is a clear indication that Drinkwater is not part of Sarri's future plan for Chelsea and the exit door is more likely for the English midfielder now more than ever.
