Royston Drenthe’s stint at Everton is already mired in notoriety. But he now has a new chapter added to his Blues’ story - claims he built a nightclub inside the home of a former Liverpool player.

Ryan Babel said he rented his home to the ex-Real Madrid star while he was on loan with Everton and, upon revealing his plans to part ways with the property, joked his fellow Dutch international became a nightmare to host.

Writing on X, formerly Twitter, Babel explained: “The time has come to pass it on to its next lucky owner. This house holds so many memories… it was the first place I moved into after leaving my parents’ home, full of excitement, mistakes, and lessons. When I left Liverpool, I rented it out to a few tenants… one of them being my good old Dutch teammate Royston Drenthe. Let’s just say he gave “tenant from hell” a new meaning.”
