Chelsea’s Under-18s extended their unbeaten run at home to 959 days on Friday night as they edged a narrow 1-0 win over Brighton & Hove Albion at Cobham in the Under-18 Premier League. Squaring off against the Seagulls for the second time in a fortnight, the Blues were guilty of wasting a number of good chances on a cold November night where they should have won more comfortably, and it…
This week’s Loan Report isn’t headlined by goalscorers, but by international call-ups. Tammy Abraham and Ruben Loftus-Cheek both received their first calls to the senior England squad this week, and both richly deserve the accolade. Headliners Anyone who has watched Chelsea’s development squads in recent years will have been easily able to identify their potential, and the pair have excelled for the Three Lions at junior age levels, and will…
Chelsea’s Under-18s returned to winning ways on Saturday with a 3-0 win away to Brighton & Hove Albion in the Under-18 Premier League Cup. Daishawn Redan and Marc Guehi each found the back of the net at the end of a somewhat turgid first half, whilst Charlie Brown added to the tally shortly before the hour mark, as the Blues bounced back from a woeful 4-0 defeat at Southampton in…
A trio of goalscoring midfielders added to their resumés this week as Mario Pašalić, Marco van Ginkel and Mason Mount all found the back of the net for their loan clubs, whilst Michael Hector added his name to the Hull City scoresheet for the first time. Headliners Pašalić was the first to weigh in, with his third goal of the campaign for Spartak Moscow, as he displayed a typical poacher’s…
Chelsea’s Development Squad are still searching for their first win since August, after a 2-2 stalemate against Arsenal on Saturday saw them record three draws in the space of six days, but they will have gone away from Aldershot’s EBB Stadium with plenty of reason to be positive about their fortunes moving forwards. Joe Edwards’ Blues twice led through Martell Taylor-Crossdale and Dujon Sterling, only to be pegged back on…
Marco van Ginkel reclaimed the lead in the Loan Army’s goalscoring ranks this season with a brace as PSV beat Heracles to lead off our latest round-up. Headliners The 24 year-old midfielder has been a steady source of goals during his three different stays in Eindhoven, and contributed again with a brace in a 3-0 win over Heracles on Sunday, taking his overall tally for the season to six, one…
Chelsea’s Development Squad claimed a useful point in Premier League 2 action on Sunday at Aldershot as they shared an interesting but ultimately goalless draw at home to West Ham United. Chances were at a premium for both sides in blustery Hampshire but, following a handful of disappointing performances in recent weeks, Chelsea will have found far more positives to take away from this experience against a good team that…
Chelsea’s Under-18s saw their perfect start to the Premier Academy League season come to a juddering halt on Saturday as they were beaten 4-0 by Southampton at the Staplewood training ground. In wet and blustery conditions brought on by Storm Brian, the Blues never looked up for the fight, and were nowhere near their best, as goals from Harry Hamblin and Harlem Hale before the break were added to by…
The Loan Report returns from the October international hiatus with a brace of goals for Tammy Abraham, who continues to trend upwards in his maiden Premier League campaign. Headliners As noted during the last Loan Report, Swansea were generally producing good quality scoring chances, but they weren’t producing many of them. Abraham was responsible for two of their three league goals (with another effort coming in the League Cup) and,…
Chelsea’s Under-18s retained their 100% league record with a seventh win from seven outings at Leicester City on Saturday, but they had to work hard for it, coming back from a goal behind and then again after conceding a late equaliser to eventually triumph 3-2. Goals from Charlie Brown and Martell Taylor-Crossdale were sandwiched in between a pair of Foxes goals scored by giant central defender from set pieces but,…
