West Ham United have been alerted to Danny Drinkwater’s frustration at Chelsea as they draw up their summer transfer plans.

As revealed by Telegraph Sport this week, Drinkwater will consider his future at the end of what has been a hugely disappointing first season at Stamford Bridge.

But, despite the fact he has started just five Premier League games for Chelsea since joining for £35million from Leicester City, Drinkwater will not be short of offers if he decides to leave the Blues.

One of those offers is likely to come from West Ham, who want a central midfielder and believe Drinkwater would suit them perfectly.

A move across London could also be appealing to the 28-year-old, as it would mean he would not have to move house for a second time in 12 months.
