The German had been in flying colours after regaining the place in Reds' starting lineup only before that unfortunate Champions League final at Kiev.
Loris Karius sealed a loan move for the Istanbul club for two years, with the Liverpool receiving £2.25 million, and will move permanently for £7.25 million if he meets performance-based targets.
Despite facing big waves of criticism, the former Mainz man boasts a fine goalkeeping skill-set and has a great potential to reemerge as an excellent shot-stopper during his loan spell in Turkey and becomes a loanee to watch out for.
Honourable Mention: Kevin Trapp (Eintracht Frankfurt)
Full Backs:
Ola Aina (Right Back)
After a fine loan spell with Hull City, Chelsea's budding youngster, Ola Aina returned to the London, put a pen on a new contract and then again left England to Italy as he joined Seria A outfit Torino in search of first-team experience.

Jonny Castro (Left Back)

World Cup winner with France Lucas Hernández emergence and still Filipe Luis becoming the first choice for the Madrid outfit further restricted first-team opportunities of the Spaniard and loan move to the Premier League's new boys, Wolves, made a sense.

Castro has already started to impress at Molineux Stadium as he produced stunning statistics of 3.3 tackles, 2 interceptions and 1.8 clearances per game. Over the last couple of campaigns, it's hard to find out any big errors or poor showings he made and in a way, he has arguably earned the reputation of 'Mr. Reliable'.

Chambers is tipped to a crucial part in Fulham's first Premier League campaign since 2013-14 and Arsenal would always be keeping eye on their auspicious defensive talent.
Kurt Zouma
Kurt Zouma is another talented young defender and a deserving man to appear on this list thanks to some thumping individual performances for Stoke City last season.

The Serbian had an impressive loan time with Cardiff City taking an integral part in their promotion to Premier League. His attribute of playing a two-pronged role ( defensive and offensive) and his immense physical efficiency along with high agility earn him a place in this list.
Mateo Kovacic (Center Midfielder)
With the heavy artillery of midfield present in the squad, talented 24-year-old Croatian had to leave European Champions Real Madrid to find his wings again. Perhaps, Chelsea emerged as the suitors for the midfield man and eventually he completed a loan move to the London inspired by new boss Maurizio Sarri.
Whenever the so-called B team of Los Blancos played, Kovacic was the one who always impressed with thumping and eye-catching performances.
Mateo Kovacic surely becomes one of the most lucrative loanees and is expected to take a big role in Sarri's first campaign at Chelsea.
James Rodrigues (Attacking Midfielder)
James Rodrigues, 27-year-old Colombian ace, by any margin, is the best among all the loanees. The midfielder with the huge attacking mindset left the Spanish capital last season for a move to Bayern Munich on loan.

Paco Alcácer (Right Forward)
Bundesliga outfit completed the signing of auspicious Barcelona forward on a season-long loan in order to bolster their attacking unit.
The Spaniard started for reigning La Liga Champions for 8 times and scored 4 goals and generated statistics of a goal per 96 minutes.
