Aston Villa have completed the loan signing of Chelsea midfielder Danny Drinkwater.

Drinkwater joins from Chelsea until the end of the season. He spent the first-half of the campaign on-loan with Burnley.

The 29-year-old England international brings a wealth of experience with him to Villa Park having helped Leicester win the Premier League title in 2016.

Villa boss Dean Smith said: “Danny was a key member of Leicester City's title winning team and has represented England so he is a vastly experienced player.

“He will strengthen our squad significantly."

Villa will stump up £110,000 per week in wages to Drinkwater during the loan, with the Blues playing on Villa's desperation to bolster their midfield.
