Chelsea are back training at Cobham today after the end of their preseason tour, and from now things are going to get very serious in terms of finding loans for young players.
They’ve served their purpose filling in for the senior players who were on holiday after the World Cup – now it’s time to prioritise the development of the next generation of talents. Nizaar Kinsella is today reporting on one star youngster who is set to sign a new deal before finally stepping up to the senior game.
Mheuka prefers European move for minutes
Kinsella reports that Shim Mheuka is going to get a new deal until 2033, with the 18 year old currently finalising those talks.
The BBC man reports that Mheuka has interest from “more than a dozen clubs” across “Europe and the Championship” after a season where he won the Premier League 2 player of the year award.
Chelsea have a lot of strikers on their books in the first team right now, and while Mheuka’s talent is up there with the best of them, he needs senior minutes, and the priority in finding the right loan is surely picking a team who can guarantee him starts.
For his part, Mheuka is said to prefer a move to continental Europe.
