Danny Drinkwater has revealed that he wants to rejoin Leicester as his search for a new club continues.

Drinkwater has been out of the game since his departure from Chelsea last summer but he is eyeing a return to Leicester, where he was part of their remarkable Premier League title success in 2016.

The midfielder enjoyed the best spell of his career at Leicester as he helped the Foxes to earn promotion from the Championship and he wants to go back to the club after they returned to the second tier.

Drinkwater told Sky Sports: ‘I’d one hundred per cent go back to Leicester, it’s a special place for me.

‘To help them get back to the Premier League is something I’d love to do.

‘It was hard to watch [them get relegated]. You look at the squad and it’s full of talent.’

Drinkwater has backed Leicester to secure a swift return to the Premier League.

He said: ‘They should see this as a reset. They had such a successful period before relegation, winning the FA Cup and Community Shield.

‘If you go back 10 years, we were in the Championship and then look at what the club did in the next six to seven years.

‘They’re in such a better place now than when I joined, they can get back up easily.’

Drinkwater started out as a youth player at Manchester United but didn’t make a competitive appearance for the club and took in loan spells at Huddersfield, Cardiff, Watford and Barnsley.

He then signed for Leicester in January 2012 and stayed until September 2017, making 218 appearances and scoring 15 goals. While at Leicester he broke into the England setup and went on to earn three caps.

Drinkwater signed for Chelsea in 2017 but played just 23 times for the Blues.

He was loaned out to Burnley, Aston Villa, Kasimpasa and Reading.
