On deadline day, Chelsea confirmed deals for six players to leave on loan – Charly Musonda (Vitesse), Tammy Abraham (Aston Villa), Michael Hector (Sheffield Wednesday), Kylian Hazard (Cercle Bruges), Fankaty Dabo (Sparta Rotterdam) and Bradley Collins (Burton Albion).
The six players who left Stamford Bridge stood little chance of first-team football under Maurizio Sarri and have opted for temporary moves away to pick up valuable minutes as they continue their respective development. Chelsea have been criticised for loaning out a lot of players each season and seldom developing them in their academy, and they’ve repeated history in 2018/19.
