Islam Feruz: Set to be loaned out by Chelsea next season


Sky Sports understands Chelsea are ready to send highly-rated starlet Islam Feruz out on loan next season, with Cardiff City being front runners for his signature.

Feruz, who signed a new long-term deal at the start of the year, has impressed for Chelsea's Under-21s over the last couple of seasons and he is also a regular for Scotland's Under-21s.

The 18-year-old helped Chelsea win the Under 21 Premier League championship last season and Jose Mourinho believes the youngster should go out loan next season to get regular first-team football to aid his development.

Chelsea have shown over the years that they like to loan out their best young talent so that they can gain valuable experience before making the step up to the first team at Stamford Bridge - and Feruz is set to be the first of many who will be farmed out on a temporary basis next season.

The news has alerted a host of Championship clubs to Feruz's availability on loan, with the likes of Cardiff, Derby, Reading and Brighton all thought to be keeping tabs on the forward's situation.

Just what we need - another striker!

Striker is he, strange. Might be a non story, like dalman said the next positions their looking at are mid and def.

He plays as a winger a fair bit

All I know about him is that he is very fast. We don't need him anyway

Islam? Oh oh..... ten pager coming up!

Have watched Feruz play a number of times in the FA Youth Cup. Very fast, very sharp and knows where the goal is, but also very short - could be an issue in a league like the Championship.

Would think a lower level would be better for his development, and we already have a ridiculous number of strikers. It just wouldn't make sense.

Sound like a Campbell type striker - if we get him Campbell's obviously going. Can never have enough quality players in the C'ship.

Think Earnie as a youngster, complete with goal celebration, and you have this kid.


If Sky are right with this OGS must be planning one hell of an attacking formation next season.

Yeah, but even shorter and weaker. If he had Campbell's stature he would be perfect, but at this point I'd still be worried about the physical side of his game.

That said, Earnie managed it!

Islam? Oh oh..... ten pager coming up!
