In this review, we look at events as they unfolded in the various remaining parts of the world littered with Blues youngsters.           Who?

There’s plenty of reason to celebrate in the final Loan Report of the 2014-15 season as Vitesse secured Europa League qualification whilst one youngster who has not always had an easy ride during his Chelsea career got his hands on a league title this weekend. Netherlands Having seen off PEC Zwolle last week, Vitesse were left with a two-legged tie against Heerenveen with a place in the Third Qualifying Round…

The season is winding down towards its conclusion but there remains a few prevailing interests on the Chelsea loanee front. We kick off this weekend, as we have done quite often this season, with Bertrand Traore. Headliners To say Vitesse’s fortunes have improved somewhat since manager Peter Bosz opted to move the Burkina Faso international into a centre forward role back in November would be understating things somewhat. His prolific…

A brace from Bertrand Traore took the total goals scored by Chelsea’s assembled loanees this season to a round 80 (which then increased further later in the day) but his efforts weren’t enough to ensure direct passage into the Europa League for Vitesse this weekend. Headliners The geel en zwaart went into the final round of Eredivisie fixtures knowing a win and help elsewhere would ensure a third-placed finish and…

Marco van Ginkel became the 20th different Chelsea loanee to score a goal this season as he netted against Roma on Saturday night. We begin this late-season Loan Report with him before switching attention to another Serie A goalscorer. Headliners Van Ginkel has emerged as a regular name on Filippo Inzaghi’s team sheet over the last two to three months and, despite Milan’s season being all sorts of disappointing, his…

As we march ever closer to the finish line of the 2014-15 season, a number of Chelsea’s young loanees made their final appearances for their loan clubs this weekend, with at least one having cause for celebration. We start, however, with a goalscoring midfielder. Headliners Mario Pašalić has slowly, and slightly under the radar, become a dependable player for Elche this season in their battle to avoid relegation from La…

For the first time in 2015 we have a Loan Report in which no goals were scored, but there have been some interesting events in the loanwatch world over the past seven days, not least atop the Championship. Headliners This week saw the promotion race come to something of a hilt as four sides scrapped for two spots. Middlesbrough, with as many as three Chelsea players on loan this season,…

As the end of the season moves ever closer, particularly in the English football league, the stakes remain high for a number of Chelsea’s loanees. For Patrick Bamford, the prize of Premier League football next season remains high on the agenda and this week he was up to his usual tricks in trying to drive his team there. Headliners Middlesbrough faced two games in the space of three days and…
