Drinkwater, a star for Leicester City in their 2016 title-winning side, signed a five-
year contract in 2017 for a £35 million fee from Leicester City.
Injuries, change of managers, and bad form has impacted his time at the club where
he has been deemed surplus to requirements
Drinkwater will become a free agent this summer when his Chelsea contract expires
on June 30.
Announcing his exit from the club, Drinkwater wrote;
“My time at Chelsea FC has come to an end.
“(It) actually feels really strange writing this. I, 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, traveled 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 apologize 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.”
