Danny Drinkwater has opened up on the true extent of his Chelsea nightmare, which saw him brutally admit that he wasted some of the best years of his career.
The 32-year-old played a pivotal role in Leicester City's fairytale title-winning side during the 2015-16 season, before he sealed a huge £35million move to Chelsea two years later where he put pen to paper on a five-year deal.
However, the big-money switch didn't pay off for Drinkwater and the midfielder was cast aside for the majority of his time at Stamford Bridge.
Drinkwater, who only made 23 appearances for the club while scoring just once, has revealed the difficulties he faced less than a month after being released by the Blues, where he talked about how he ended up drink driving after a number of deaths in his family.
