£35m DRINKWATER DEAL IS SEALED IN EXTRA TIME

CHELSEA were given a two-hour extension to complete a deal for Leicester’s Danny Drinkwater. The Premier League gave special dispensation because the initial paperwork, duly signed, arrived before 11pm on Thursday. With the basic forms completed, Chelsea and Leicester were then given until 1am yesterday to wrap up Drinkwater’s £35million move to Stamford Bridge.
