Chelsea outcast Danny Drinkwater has been tipped to reunite with Claudio Ranieri at Fulham.
Could Claudio Ranieri get the old band back together for one last show at Craven Cottage?
Since taking over at Premier League strugglers Fulham, the veteran Italian has been tipped to sign a number of his former Leicester City players, two-and-a-half years after leading The Foxes to the Premier League title.
According to TEAMtalk, Ranieri is keen to reunite with the out-of-favour trio Shinji Okazaki, Christian Fuchs and Danny Simpson while free agent Robert Huth, who left Leicester when his contract expired in July, is also an option.
The chances of Danny Drinkwater leaving Chelsea to make the short journey across West London, however, looks slim by comparison.
TEAMtalk adds that Ranieri would love to sign the England international, whose central midfield partnership with N’Golo Kante was integral to Leicester’s first ever top flight crown.
But, according to Football London, Drinkwater could be too costly for a Fulham side who invested over £100 million in new players during the summer transfer window.
The former Manchester United youngster has been included in just one of Chelsea’s 13 Premier League squads this season but The Blues would want to recoup as much of their £35 million investment as possible, according to The Guardian.
