Danny Drinkwater is undergoing a medical at Aston Villa ahead of a loan move from Chelsea until the end of the season.
Villa will stump up £110,000-a-week to land Chelsea's Danny Drinkwater on loan, as the Blues play on Villa's desperation to bolster their midfield.
Dean Smith's side are far from safe, hovering one-point above the relegation zone. With vital midfielder John McGinn side-lined with a long-term injury, they are turning to a Premier League winner on a short-term loan.
He has played less than 200 minutes of first-team football in two years, and Chelsea chiefs are demanding any club interested in the Englishman will have to pay 100-per-cent of his wages, according to the Sun.
