EPL stars' vacation: Forgotten Premier League man Drinkwater feeds a lion

Premier League stars are continuing to enjoy their time away from the hustle and bustle of competitive football as they have jetted across the globe to enjoy their holidays.

Chelsea's Danny Drinkwater did not play a competitive minute of football last season but it has not stopped him unwinding from what proved to be a frustrating campaign for him.

Drinkwater posted an image of himself feeding a lion during a trip to Dubai where he is currently on holiday.

He also managed to get up close to a bear, giraffe and raccoon as he was given a guided tour of the animals in a zoo.

Watford's Andre Gray has been spending time with his girlfriend and Lil Mix singer Leigh-Anne Pinnock in Mykonos.

Champions League winner Alisson Becker showed his affection for his wife Natalia by posting a picture of himself kissing his other half as the sun sets in the background.

Manchester United defender Marcos Rojo has decided to use the break to change his appearance with the Argentine dying his hair blond.

Rojo, who was omitted from Argentina's Copa America squad after an injury-ravaged season at Old Trafford, is in the Dominican Republic with his friends and family.

Danny Ings has decided to spend time closer to home as he has made the short trip to Cannes as he enjoys some downtime following a topsy-turvy season at Southampton.

Ings' now former Liverpool team-mate Daniel Sturridge, who is a free agent after being released by the Anfield club, posed for an Instagram snap during his travels around Mexico.

Chelsea's Michy Batshuayi is also facing an uncertain future after spending the second half of the campaign on loan at Crystal Palace.

That has not stopped him from relaxing in front of a picturesque background.

Manchester City's Bernardo Silva is spending time in New York after his season finally came to an end following the conclusion of the Nations League.

Silva tasted success with his club and country as he won the Premier League, FA Cup and League Cup with City before helping Portugal win the inaugural Nations League in his home country.

Arsenal's Shkodran Mustafi and his wife Vjosa posted a romantic snap as they swapped London for Turkey.
