If the Saints could secure the out-of-favour Chelsea player on a season-long loan, they would be doing a tremendous piece of business.
In a midfield pairing with James Ward-Prowse, Southampton would be able to dominate possession in games. Drinkwater’s passing range helped Leicester City win a Premier League, he would be a top quality player to have at their disposal against the Clarets.
Mark Hughes should do everything to get a deal for Drinkwater over the line before the Burnley clash.
