After Danny Drinkwater became a free agent following his departure from Chelsea in the summer of 2022, he was proposed to Legia Warszawa. Piotr Kamieniecki of TVP Sport revealed that the midfielder's candidacy was presented to the Warsaw club. While Drinkwater was primarily looking for a team in his home country, his profile was also sent to several Ekstraklasa sides. The player was also offered to Korona Kielce, but the club showed no interest.
