He joins the Turkish side having made 23 appearances for Chelsea so far,
scoring one goal, with his last first-team appearance for the Blues coming
in the 2018 Community Shield.
Since then the midfielder has spent time on loan in the Premier League
with Burnley and Aston Villa, but now moves to the Turkish top flight with
Kasimpasa, who are currently sat in mid-table in the Super Lig.
Drinkwater arrived at Chelsea in the summer of 2017 from Leicester City,
where he had won the Premier League title playing alongside N'Golo Kante.
His Blues debut came in a 2-1 League Cup win over Everton and was followed
by a succession of substitute appearances, and starts in an important draw
at Anfield and impressive win over Newcastle United.

Drinkwater celebrating his goal against Stoke in 2017
His first goal for the club came in our last fixture of 2017, a fine
effort as we thrashed Stoke City 5-0 at Stamford Bridge.
In the second half of the campaign, as well as featuring in the 1-1 home
draw with Barcelona in the Champions League, he started the first four of
our seven FA Cup matches along the way to lifting the trophy at Wembley,
but injury ended his season early, meaning he was unavailable for the
semi-final and final.
Drinkwater will now spend the rest of the 2020/21 season in Turkey with
Kasimpasa.
