Parent Club: Arsenal

Loaned to: Crewe Alexandra

A player whose name has been doing the rounds for a few years now at the club, Chuks Aneke has been with the club since the tender age of seven. Hailed for his passing ability and physical presence, he has been compared him to Yaya Toure by manager Arsene Wenger.

Having made his competitive debut for the club in 2011, Aneke has subsequently been sent out on loan to Stevenage, Preston North End and Crewe Alexandra. 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. Aneke is a gifted play maker and a bright prospect for the Gunners in the near future.

Parent Club: Chelsea FC

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.
