Chelsea outcast Danny Drinkwater wanted by Aston Villa in January loan transfer with Burnley deal expiring – The Sun

ASTON VILLA are targeting a surprise move for Chelsea outcast Danny Drinkwater to help save them from relegation.

Drinkwater has spent the first half of the season on loan at Burnley but his time at Turf Moor has been beset by off-field problems and injury.

The England international suffered an injury after becoming involved in a fight on a boozy night out which has limited his impact with the Clarets to just two first team appearances.

Drinkwater, 29, is contracted to Burnley until January 6 but the club are set to send him back to Chelsea instead of extending it until the end of the season.

Blues boss Frank Lampard has already decided that the former Leicester star does not play any part in his plans for the club moving forward.

And now Chelsea officials are looking to move him on from Stamford Bridge again if they can find a club willing to take him on.

According to Sky Sports, one club who could be open to that prospect is relegation threatened Villa.
