Chelsea flop and ex-England international Danny Drinkwater targeted by trolls claiming he’s ‘hit rock bottom’ after revealing surprise new job post-retirement

Premier League

Leicester

The ex-England international is keeping busy after <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/leicester-premier-league-winner-danny-drinkwater-announces-retirement-from-football/blt7ec97dd3ef666a0e" target="_blank">announcing his retirement from professional football</a> at the age of just 33 in October last year. The former midfielder posted a photograph of himself on a construction site on his social media, only to be targeted by trolls.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Drinkwater, who was an integral part of the 2015-16 Premier League-winning Leicester City side, left for Chelsea in an ambitious move in 2017. His transfer, however, proved to be a failure as he soon found himself frozen out of the first team at Stamford Bridge and then was sent out on four different loan spells.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

The 34-year-old reshared a comment from a troll on his Instagram story who wrote: "F****** hell Danny you've hit rock bottom."In response, the former player wrote: "Some of these messages, behaveeee. I love being on site grafting! It's a choice."<picture><source srcset="https://assets.goal.com/images/v3/bltc1ef6e9dc1744405/Screenshot_2024-07-23-00-32-12-69_1c337646f29875672b5a61192b9010f9.jpg?format=webp" type="image/webp"><source srcset="https://assets.goal.com/images/v3/bltc1ef6e9dc1744405/Screenshot_2024-07-23-00-32-12-69_1c337646f29875672b5a61192b9010f9.jpg?format=jpg" type="image/jpeg"><img src="https://assets.goal.com/images/v3/bltc1ef6e9dc1744405/Screenshot_2024-07-23-00-32-12-69_1c337646f29875672b5a61192b9010f9.jpg?format=jpg" alt="Danny Drinkwater" data-source="Danny Drinkwater Instagram" data-copyright="Danny Drinkwater Instagram" data-portal-copyright="Danny Drinkwater Instagram" perform:prop="uuid:bltc1ef6e9dc1744405;width:1080;height:1830"></picture><picture><source srcset="https://assets.goal.com/images/v3/bltd69e07ed68f7f150/Screenshot_2024-07-23-00-32-27-42_1c337646f29875672b5a61192b9010f9.jpg?format=webp" type="image/webp"><source srcset="https://assets.goal.com/images/v3/bltd69e07ed68f7f150/Screenshot_2024-07-23-00-32-27-42_1c337646f29875672b5a61192b9010f9.jpg?format=jpg" type="image/jpeg"><img src="https://assets.goal.com/images/v3/bltd69e07ed68f7f150/Screenshot_2024-07-23-00-32-27-42_1c337646f29875672b5a61192b9010f9.jpg?format=jpg" alt="Danny Drinkwater Instagram post" data-source="Danny Drinkwater Instagram" data-copyright="Danny Drinkwater Instagram" data-portal-copyright="Danny Drinkwater Instagram" perform:prop="uuid:bltd69e07ed68f7f150;width:1080;height:1837"></picture>

WHAT DANNY DRINKWATER SAID

There were rumours of Drinkwater approaching the Foxes last year after leaving the Blues over a final move, however, the transfer did not materialise. It's good to see him keeping busy and enjoying his post-football life.
