Loan Report

Our recent fine run of loanee goalscoring continued again this week as Patrick Bamford entered double figures in the league for Middlesbrough in midweek before Victor Moses and Mohamed Salah added to their tallies on the weekend. We begin with Bamford. Headliners Middlesbrough went into their midweek trip to Birmingham City knowing they had a chance of putting a bit of daylight between themselves and the rest of the chasing…

Following a few months of Chelsea’s England-based loanees getting the job done, they firmly handed over to their continental counterparts this week. We have four goals to bring you from action on the other side of the Channel, beginning with a wonderfully in-form Bertrand Traore. Headliners Vitesse weren’t enjoying the best of seasons until the end of November, and particularly found themselves struggling in front of goal. Manager Peter Bosz…

After a few weeks of handing things over to the supporting cast, Chelsea’s top two loan performers of the season return to centre stage in this week’s Loan Report. Patrick Bamford and Bertrand Traore have stood out for their all-round performances as much as their goalscoring antics and the left-footed duo were both on target this past weekend. Headliners Bamford was held off the scoresheet last time out against Brentford…

For the fourth week in succession, and the fifth time in the last six, we’re able to kick off the Loan Report with a goal scored by an English Chelsea prospect. And, for the first time this season, we lead off with the exploits of Nathaniel Chalobah. Headliners Chalobah has had to overcome the unexpected disappointment of being denied a loan move to French club Bordeaux following a curious administrative…

Another week, another goal, and another for Patrick Bamford. The England Under-21 forward hit the headlines like almost never before this weekend as his contributions helped Middlesbrough overcome Manchester City away from home in the FA Cup. Headliners Boro went into the clash some 10-1 underdogs but there was always an inkling that they had the tools to get the job done and they did just that, coming away from…

For the second week in succession the Loan Report is kicked off by an English prospect who has spent the majority of his formative years at Chelsea and gone on to score his maiden professional goal in England’s third tier. John Swift, it’s over to you. Headliners Swift spent the first half of this season on loan at Rotherham in the Championship but, after manager Steve Evans showed a distaste…

The second week of January brought with it more transfer activity on the Chelsea loanee front as three more players lined up moves for the rest of the season. We’ll get to them in a minute, but we begin with the first career goal for a prospect who joined Chelsea at Under-11 level. Headliners Alex Davey isn’t the most prolific of scorers but, then again, he is a centre-back. He…

The Loan Report remains a small one this weekend with winter breaks still in full effect for many of those plying their trades elsewhere. With nobody having performed worthily enough of headline credit, we’ll begin by documenting the many moves already made in the early days of this January transfer window. Headliners Nathaniel Chalobah’s stay at Burnley has ended and he is back at Chelsea looking for alternative arrangements. There…

We bring you an abridged version of the Loan Report this Sunday owing to the fact that England is the only active country during the festive period. Nonetheless, we do have a goal for you, and it comes from Ryan Bertrand. Headliners The 25 year-old has never been a prolific goalscorer and came into this season with just three career strikes to his name. He netted against Queens Park Rangers…

For the first time in a month we aren’t able to bring you a Patrick Bamford goal to enjoy in the Loan Report. Instead, Christmas cheer is provided by Bertrand Traore, who leads the way with four goals this week. Let’s dive in. Headliners Traore had something of a November to forget as he lost his place in Vitesse Arnhem’s starting eleven after an indifferent run of form since September….
