Chelsea midfielder Drinkwater to join Kasimpasa after touching down in Istanbul

Chelsea midfielder Danny Drinkwater is set to join Kasimpasa.

The Daily Mail says Drinkwater has arrived in Istanbul ahead of his loan move to Kasimpasa.

Drinkwater had reached an agreement with the Turkish Super Lig side but the deal was held up by restrictions on travel.

He has yet to undergo a medical and agree the final paperwork.

The 30-year-old is eager to kickstart his career after just 23 first team appearances for Chelsea since his £35million transfer from Leicester City in 2017.

His last competitive appearance for Chelsea came against Manchester City in the Community Shield in August 2018.
