Danny Drinkwater opens up on 2019 arrest for drink-driving and reveals he would 'get with any bird I could' on boozy nights out in London during troubled spell at Chelsea... as he announces retirement aged 33

Danny Drinkwater has revealed his arrest for drink-driving in 2019 was a wake-up call as he opened up on his boozing and partying during his ill-fated spell at Chelsea.

Drinkwater, 33, on Monday announced his retirement during an interview on Jake Humphrey's High Performance Podcast.

The Premier League winner joined Chelsea from Leicester for £35million in 2017 but only played a bit-part role. He went on loan to Burnley, Aston Villa, Turkish club Kasimpasa and Reading in the Championship before leaving Stamford Bridge following the expiry of his contract in June 2022.
