Chelsea’s rampant Under-18s once again emphasised that they are very much the team to beat in the South league right now after a resounding 7-2 victory at Southampton on Saturday. The hosts scored the first and last goals of the contest but had little to shout about in between as Chelsea made light work of the wet weather and tore into their hosts with ruthless efficiency. Iké Ugbo led the…
We’re usually pretty blessed with activity in the Loan Report with the majority of weeks full of goalscoring action from across Europe. This week…not so much. In the absence of any true headliners, we’ll dive straight into the country-by-country looks. England Nathan Aké continues to lead the way with Premier League minutes, continuing in his role as Watford’s starting left-back with their trip to Leicester City. Up against Riyad Mahrez…
Chelsea’s Under-21s got back to winning ways on Sunday afternoon with a rampaging 4-0 win over Liverpool at Cobham. A blistering spell of four goals in ten minutes either side of half time did the damage with Bertrand Traore opening the scoring before three in quick succession after the restart put the result beyond doubt. A glorious solo strike by Ruben Loftus-Cheek made it 2-0 before Tammy Abraham completed the…
The streak of weeks featuring at least one goal from a Chelsea loanee is up to six after Juan Cuadrado, Mario Pašalić and Dominic Solanke weighed in with efforts this past weekend. We begin with the latter and the upwardly-mobile Arnhem contingent. Headliners Vitesse were looking to bounce back from a disappointing home defeat to Ajax last time out and were handed something of a ‘get well’ fixture away to…
Chelsea’s Under-18s emphasised that they are the team to beat in the South League this season as a resounding 7-0 win over Norwich City this Saturday lunchtime extended their lead at the top of the table. It was perhaps as one-sided a contest as you might see at this level all year long, with Miro Muheim and Iké Ugbo each grabbing themselves a brace as Chelsea bossed things from first…
A week that started badly for Chelsea’s Under-21s ended badly as a 3-1 defeat at the hands of Tottenham Hotspur at Aldershot on Friday night consigned them to consecutive defeats inside five days. Shayon Harrison once again played the role of chief tormentor, extending his own outstanding individual record against the Blues with a pair of goals either side of captain Milos Veljkovic also weighing in on the scoresheet. Tammy…
Chelsea’s Under-21s remain without a win since the opening day of the season as they went down to a 2-0 defeat at home to Manchester City on Monday evening. It was a typically close and well-matched contest between two of the country’s leading academies but City fared better on a chilly evening at Aldershot’s EBB Stadium and won courtesy of a first-half Bersant Celina free-kick and a late second from…
The goals continue to flow steadily on the loan front and we have three more to bring to you this weekend, beginning with a pair of Championship headliners. Headliners John Swift’s month-long stay at Brentford is due to end next weekend but, considering his impressive recent form has coincided with a three-match winning run, the odds are that the Bees will extend the deal until the turn of the year….
Chelsea’s Under-18s extended their lead at the top of the South league table with a 2-0 win over second-placed Reading at Cobham on Saturday morning. The two teams were separated by just a point coming into the contest and the margins were just as fine for the majority of the proceedings, but goals from Charlie Wakefield and Harvey St Clair meant the Blues were able to clinch victory despite a…
The Loan Report returns from the international break with more goals for you to enjoy and, as usual, it’s Vitesse Arnhem leading the way. Headliners The Gelderlanders are now the Eredivisie’s leading goalscorers after they racked up five for the second consecutive outing. PEC Zwolle –a handy team in their own right – were the unfortunate victims of the latest hammering, going down 5-1 at home to a Vitesse side…
