Unemployed Ex-Premier League Star, 35, Lined Up for Serie A Transfer After Leaving Old Club Four Games Into Season
Introduction
Former Premier League star Danny Drinkwater has been linked with a move to Serie A club Monza after leaving Chelsea four games into the new season, according to CaughtOffside.
The 35-year-old midfielder has been without a club since leaving Stamford Bridge in the summer and has been training with Championship side Reading in recent weeks.
Monza are reportedly interested in signing Drinkwater on a free transfer and are said to be confident of completing a deal before the transfer window closes on September 1.
Drinkwater's Career
Drinkwater began his career at Manchester United but failed to make a first-team appearance for the Red Devils. He joined Leicester City in 2012 and played a key role in the Foxes' Premier League title triumph in 2016.
He moved to Chelsea in 2017 for a fee of £35 million but struggled to establish himself at Stamford Bridge. He spent the 2020/21 season on loan at Aston Villa and also had loan spells at Burnley and Kasimpasa.
Drinkwater has made three appearances for England and was part of the squad that reached the semi-finals of the 2018 World Cup.
Monza's Interest
Monza are a newly promoted Serie A club and are looking to strengthen their squad before the start of the new season.
They have already signed a number of experienced players, including former Italy international Kevin-Prince Boateng and ex-Manchester City defender Pablo Mari.
Drinkwater would add some much-needed experience to Monza's midfield and would be a valuable asset to the club as they look to establish themselves in Serie A.
Conclusion
Drinkwater is a proven Premier League winner and has a wealth of experience at the top level. He would be a valuable addition to Monza's squad and could help them achieve their goals in Serie A.
