A loan that has not quite worked out yet is Wallace who is currently at Inter Milan for the season. Disappointingly for a player who has showed a lot of promise he has only started the one game for Inter so far and come on a sub on 3 occasions. We will have to wait and see how the rest of the season goes but it could be a season wasted for the young Brazilian right back.
Another new arrival who went straight out on loan is 18 year old striker Stipe Perica who moved to Dutch side NAC Breda. So far he has only made 2 starts but is earning a reputation as a super sub making 11 substitute appearances and scoring 4 goals. I would expect for Perica to continue to improve and earn more starts and score more goals as the season goes on.
For Victor Moses it seemed like a good start making starts in the first 6 games he was there. However since then he has struggled to get the starts and has only 1 of the last 11 games for Liverpool. So far his record is 7 starts and 6 substitute appearances scoring 1 goal. It does not look like he making his way back into Rodgers 11 any time soon so Moses could be a frustrated figure this season.
Ulises Davilla who is spending this season at Spanish second division club Cordoba. Again it has taking him time to settle in but he is now getting the regular games and seems to be performing well. He has now made 9 starts and 5 sub appearances and scored 4 goals.
Probably the most talked about of loan players is Romelu Lukaku. Having made the controversial decision to go on loan this season it was Everton where he would finally end up and he is having a season that has many saying that Chelsea are very much missing him. With 15 starts and 9 goals to his name it is easy to see how that is the case and now he has to show that he can do it for a full season as a top level.
Two players who will very much looking to find new loan clubs in January are Nathaniel Chalobah and Josh McEachran. Chalobah is currently at Nottingham Forest and has only made 6 starts since his move there and has scored 2 goals. McEachran has a similar record with only 6 starts to his name and without a goal, Josh has not appeared in Watford’s last 7 games and is definitely in need of a new club.
So there we have a brief summary of the loan players at Chelsea and there will be plenty more to discuss in the coming months and the season continues to it’s close.
