Mark Schwarze: Chelsea target Danny Drinkwater is not Nemanja Matic

Chelsea have been linked to Leicester City and England international
midfielder, Danny Drinkwater.

Although, nothing has developed from the 27 year old been linked to
the champions, that hasn't stopped former players to bare their mind
on it.

And Chelsea's former goalkeeper Mark Schwarze is of the opinion that
the now departed Nemanja Matic and Danny Drinkwater are different kind
of players.

"He's not a Matic, he's more of a creative player. The former
Australian international said

"At Leicester last season we saw that he struggled without having
N'Golo Kante next to him, but Danny is a very talented young man and
has done incredibly well at Leicester.

"I think he's capable of making that step up.

"Whether or not he's someone who will play week-in week-out, whether
he's good enough to make that step up to be a mainstream player in
Chelsea's first XI, we'll only know once he makes that step if it
happens. But he's definitely got the ability."

Danny Drinkwater played a key role in Leicester's surprise Premier
League triumph in the 2015/2016 season.

Whether the thought of reuniting him with N'Golo Kante is what is
being considered by the Chelsea hierarchy in order to recreate the
midfield pairing that led Leicester to the title or its just a media
fantasy remains to be seen.
