In 38 appearances for Crewe in 2012-2013, the youngster racked up 8 goals and 7 assists, and has followed that up with a goal in two appearances so far this season.

Loaned to: Vitesse Arnhem
Not much is known about the Chilean left back who can also operate as a left midfielder. His performances for the Chilean U-20 side in this year’s World Cup caught many an appreciating glance. Chile ultimately made it to the quarter-finals in the tournament on the back of some of his impressive performances, and this prompted Chelsea to offer him a trial and subsequent contract until 2018.
A potential successor to Ashley Cole, one should keep an eye out for this young Chilean. At Vitesse, he is joined by several other Chelsea loanees like Patrick van Aanholt, Gaël Kakuta and Lucas Piazón.
