Chelsea have confirmed Danny Drinkwater has joined Turkish club Kasimpasa on loan until the end of the season.

England midfielder Drinkwater joined Chelsea from Leicester for £35 million (€39 million) in 2017, but has made just 23 senior Stamford Bridge appearances.

Drinkwater has not featured in Chelsea’s first team since the 2018 Community Shield clash with Manchester City.

The 30-year-old had been training with Chelsea’s Under-23s and was sent off in a development team match against Tottenham in December.

“Danny Drinkwater will go out on loan for the remainder of this season. Good luck Danny!” Chelsea posted on their club Twitter account.
