Chelsea have agreed to loan out player Mauricio Pochettino rated, his ‘dream’ has come true
With just a few days to go in what has so far been a quiet January transfer window, things are expected to heat up as far as Chelsea are concerned with potential player arrivals and exits.
There are a plethora of players who are currently at Stamford Bridge who have simply not been handed the gametime they think they deserve, and therefore will be available for any late moves this month away from the club.
So far, the Blues have parted ways with Renato Veiga for the rest of the season, with him hoping for regular minutes as a centre-back at his new club, Juventus.
Deivid Washington agrees to leave Chelsea on loan
The Portugal international had more opportunities than many for the Blues this campaign, with him being a regular in the Conference League and appearing off the bench in the Premier League.
One player this luxury has not been afforded to is Deivid Washington. In fact, the young striker has just 25 minutes on the pitch for the first team since he joined.
His football this season has come for the U21s, with him boasting an impressive goalscoring record in Premier League 2.

It was reported that as many as four clubs were interested in bringing Washington in on loan this month, however there was one side the player had his heart set on joining.
According to journalist Uriel Iugt, the striker will spend the next 12 months at Santos, with him able to realise his dreams and feature alongside Brazil legend Deivid Washington.
“Deivid Washington is a new Santos player. Chelsea have loaned him out for a year. The striker will fulfil his dream of playing with Neymar Jr.”
Mauricio Pochettino was a fan of Deivid Washington
When Mauricio Pochettino was in charge of Chelsea, he was struggling with injury problems up front, in particular for Christopher Nkunku.
However, the Argentine said at the time that he had faith that Washington could fill the void if needed fo the first time.
He said: “It’s important to recover Christoph. And today arrived Nico Jackson. Also, sometimes we forget but Deivid Washington is here with us. The options we have up front, I think, are enough.”
Maresca has clearly not taken as much of a liking to Washington, with him instead prioritising the development of Marc Guiu, who is the Conference League’s top scorer.
