Chelsea have completed the signing of Leicester City's Danny Drinkwater for £30million.
The Blues, who had pursued the midfielder for most of the summer, finally had a third bid accepted ahead of the transfer deadline on Thursday evening August 31,2017
Leicester had previously rejected a £23m bid by Antonio Conte's side but the Blues managed to get the deal over the line at the last minute
Danny Drinkwater said he is relishing the chance at Stamford Bridge after passing a medical.
He added: 'I'm delighted to be a Chelsea player and can't wait to get started. It has been a long journey to get here but I am very happy and am looking forward to helping the club win more trophies.'
The 27-year-old is Chelsea's sixth signing of the summer and technical director Michael Emenalo said Drinkwater's experience would help.
