West Ham join race for Drinkwater

West Ham have joined the race to sign Chelsea midfielder Danny Drinkwater on loan.

According to The Mirror, West Ham want to beef up their midfield options and have targeted Drinkwater as a possible addition to their squad.

Drinkwater has fallen out-of-favour at Chelsea, with the club happy to let him leave before the end of the transfer window.

West Ham’s Premier League rivals Southampton and Crystal Palace are also said to be keen on securing a deal for the England international.

Drinkwater sealed a £35m move to Chelsea last summer from Leicester, a year on from The Foxes’ Premier League title success.

However, the midfielder failed to make an impact at Stamford Bridge last season as he only managed five Premier League starts.

Maurizio Sarri, who was appointed as Chelsea’s head coach earlier this month, is willing to let Drinkwater leave after the arrival of Jorginho from Napoli.

The report also claims that West Ham are eyeing Porto forward Moussa Marega.
