Chelsea Mid-Season loan report

For Christian Cuevas it has been something of disappointing loan move so far having not made a single appearance for Vitesse so far and only featuring for their reserve side. That may change in the second half of the season but with Vitesse flying high in the league it would be unlikely that regular games will come his way this season.

The big success story in the Chelsea loan ranks has been Lucas Piazon. His time at Malaga last season was mixed and it was felt that Vitesse may be a step not high enough for him but he has started 17 games now for Vitesse and is the most talked about player in the Dutch League at the moment. He has scored a very impressive 11 goals from those 17 starts and is making a name for himself and impressing everyone who watches him play this season. His loan lasts the season and if he can keep this form up then the summer will be very interesting for him.

A new name in the Chelsea ranks is Christian Atsu who moved to Chelsea in the summer and then immediately out to Vitesse on loan having joined late and taking time to acclimatize he is now an ever present for Vitesse having started 10 games all them back to back, he only has one goal to his name so far but he is improving with every game and hopefully the second half of the season will be a good one for him.
