According to Gregg Evans of the Athletic, Chelsea midfielder Danny Drinkwater is close to signing for Aston Villa in the January transfer window.
The 29-year-old, who won the Premier League title with Leicester City in 2015-16, has struggled badly since moving to Chelsea in 2017 for a fee in the region of £35 million.
He has made just 12 Premier League appearances for the Blues, while his loan spell at Burnley has turned into a disaster as well.
