Four senior Chelsea players are on loan at other clubs in the 2025/26 campaign. Here we assess how well each of them is performing.
The Blues have consistently stockpiled exciting prospects and used the loan market to help their development for many years.
The West London club have already started replicating their strategy this summer, with three players joining sister club Strasbourg.
The Chelsea Chronicle examines the progress of all the Blues’ senior loan players this season, including key statistics.

Kendry Paez’s arrival at Stamford Bridge was overshadowed by Estevao Willian’s, but the Chelsea hierarchy think he too can become an excellent player. He made his Strasbourg debut in their 1-0 away win against Metz.

Mike Penders has so much potential that he might be the reason Chelsea have not signed a goalkeeper this summer. Penders kept a clean sheet in his Ligue 1 debut and already looks comfortable with his new team.
