The impressive XI of players out on loan from Chelsea

Kenedy (Newcastle United)

Kenedy has become a real favourite at Newcastle

Kenedy is another man whose off the field attitude may have cost him at Chelsea in the last couple of years. He was sent home from the club’s pre-season tour of China last summer for comments made on social media, and that was partly the reason for why he didn’t appear in the Premier League for Chelsea. He moved to Newcastle United on loan at January, and after a good six months at St. James’ Park, re-joined the Magpies on a season-long loan for the current campaign.

Michy Batshuayi (Valencia)

Batshuayi has been the near man at Chelsea since his move to the club in 2016. He started just one game in his first season in England but netted the winner against West Brom to win the Premier League title. He scored ten goals in all competitions in the first half of last season, including a last-minute winner away at Atletico Madrid in the Champions League. However, he moved to Borussia Dortmund in January and scored seven goals in ten Bundesliga games before moving to Valencia on loan for this season.

Tammy Abraham (Aston Villa)

There can’t be too many players in this side who were close to being involved in the Chelsea first team this season than Abraham. There are questions about whether the Blues have a good enough striker in the squad this season, with Alvaro Morata struggling, and Olivier Giroud looking like more of an impact player. Abraham though scored only five league goals for Swansea City last season, and that is probably what cost him, and he will now spend this season with Championship club Aston Villa.
