Mourinho plans Chalobah, McEachran loans

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho confirms that he plans to send Nathaniel Chalobah back out on loan this season, with Josh McEachran and Lucas Piazon also available on long-term loans.

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has revealed that he intends to send young English duo Nathaniel Chalobah and Josh McEachran back out on loan for next season.

Both starlets have featured for the Blues during pre-season in the Far East, playing their part in Sunday's 4-1 win over a Malaysia XI.

Mourinho told The Guardian: "We are thinking of letting Nathaniel go on loan for a last season. That is our intention and he knows. We have discussed that with him.

"He is a very, very good player. I like him very much and am very impressed. For sure, he is a Chelsea player. We will see whether or not it is a Premier League club but he would have to play every weekend for the last year of his loan period. He could be in our squad already but we think one more season will help and then he will come back for 2014-15. It will be his last one out on loan. He is very, very good.

"Josh will also go on loan, Lucas Piazon too. Wallace will go on loan, he has no work permit and will go on loan in Europe, not in South America, to make the transfer easier for him."

Mourinho also confirmed that Burkina Faso international Bertrand Traore will sign professional terms with Chelsea on his 18th birthday.
