- A number of former Premier League stars now find themselves without clubs in the twilight days of their career
- The biggest name in the bunch is Danny Drinkwater, who won the EPL against the odds with Leicester City in 2016
- Drinkwater has teamed up with former teammate Danny Simpson and others to keep fit with training each week
A footballer’s career is one of the most volatile, especially in modern times.
One day, you could be a superstar with a humongous contract at a top team, and the next you could find yourself clubless and considering retirement.
It is not strange to see some big names in football reduced to becoming free agents, particularly in their thirties.
This is the case with former Leicester City and Chelsea midfielder, Danny Drinkwater, whose career is currently in free-fall.
The box-to-box midfielder left the Foxes for £35-million to join Chelsea in 2017, but his spell at Stamford Bridge seems to have been the beginning of the end of his prime.
The Blues ended up loaning him four times in three seasons and he was eventually released after his latest loan spell with Reading.
His former teammate, Danny Simpson has not fared too well either.
After leaving Leicester, he joined Huddersfield before moving to Bristol City.
His contract was eventually cancelled by mutual consent and he has been a free agent since.
