Chelsea set to send David Fofana & 2 more players on loan in January (reliability: 4 stars)

Chelsea are poised to send a number of young players, including new signing David Datro Fofana, out on loan in January, claims The Evening Standard.

The Blues also want to loan out their other new signing Andrey Santos after completing his acquisition.

Goalkeeper Gabriel Slolina, who is currently training with MLS club Chicago Fire, is also poised for a loan move.

The Blues see these three players as key to their future project, but have no plans on using them this season.

Chelsea have reportedly agreed deals for Fofana and Santos, with the official announcements expected to come soon.
