The Loan Report

We’ve reached Week 37 of the 2013-14 club football season and thanks to a couple of Belgians and an unlikely Mexican, the streak of Chelsea loanees scoring in each and every one of them continues. We start our look back over the last seven days of action with Thorgan Hazard. Headliners With the Belgian title playoffs reaching their zenith, every point matters for the younger Hazard and his Zulte Waregem…

The finish line is within sight as far as the 2013-14 season goes, but even in this 36th week of the campaign the loanee goal streak continues to stand as Thorgan Hazard struck his fifteenth goal of the season and the 118th overall by a Chelsea player featuring elsewhere. We start with him in Belgium. Headliners The younger Hazard had something of a mid-season slump following a tremendous end to…

An extended Easter weekend edition of the Loan Report hands over the headlines to a trio of Englishmen who have come through the ranks at Chelsea and forged solid professional careers from them. All defensively-minded, two of them found the scoresheet to extend the streak into a 35th week, whilst another secured the first promotion of his fledgling time in the game. Headliners The first contribution went to Sam Hutchinson,…

It’s an Eredivisie-heavy Loan Report this week as despite some disappointing results for both Vitesse Arnhem and NAC Breda, Chelsea loanees at both clubs found the scoresheet to help extend the unbroken streak of scoring this season to a 34th week. We begin in Arnhem. Headliners Vitesse haven’t enjoyed the best of form in recent weeks and four games without a win had not only damaged their Champions League hopes,…

Thirty-three weeks of the 2013-14 club football season have passed and every single one of them has featured at least one goal by a Chelsea loanee. Last week’s six-goal extravaganza would have been hard to match, but the assortment of young Blues plying their trade around the world certainly tried their best and weighed in with four more to take the running tally to 109 overall. Headliners Romelu Lukaku arguably…

It was quite the week for Chelsea’s loanees, with half a dozen goals scored, the odd assist, and a couple of important seasonal landmarks reached in what has been a rather sensational campaign on the loan front. We begin with the man with more goals than anybody else, Patrick Bamford. Headliners Bamford has been front and centre in this weekly report for much of the season and was this week…

Romelu Lukaku and Christian Atsu ensured a 31st consecutive week where a Chelsea loanee scored during the 2013-14 season, and took the running total of goals scored up to 99 in a season of remarkable statistics on the loan front. Headliners Lukaku has been good for a goal more often than not so far this campaign, and netted his 12th for Everton during the Toffees’ 3-2 win over Swansea City…

Milan Lalkovic took centre stage this week as his sixth goal of the season – and the 96th scored by a Chelsea loanee in 2013-14 – ensured the run of Blues scoring for over clubs this campaign entered an unbroken 30th week. There were assists for Marko Marin and Thorgan Hazard most notably elsewhere, whilst the rest of the crop largely continued in their familiar roles as the die has…

Romelu Lukaku and George Saville share the headlines in this week’s edition of the Loan Report as the English-based pair took us up to 95 goals from Chelsea’s now-combined 31 loanees (more on the latest to join the ranks later), and ensured that the run of consecutive weeks in which any one of them has scored a goal ticks over into a 29th unbroken, covering the entirety of the 2013-14…

Romelu Lukaku returned from injury this weekend and needed little more than twenty minutes to make his presence felt. His tenth goal of Everton’s season was also the 93rd produced by a Chelsea player away on loan and was enough to not only secure a 1-0 win over West Ham United, but also ensured the loanee goalscoring streak continued for a 28th successive week of the 2013-14 season. Headliners Lukaku…
