Kevin De Bruyne (Chelsea to Werder Bremen)
After impressing greatly on loan with Werder Bremen last season, Chelsea youngster Kevin De Bruyne could be set for a return to the Bundesliga club this year after failing to get into the first-team plans of Jose Mourinho this season.
The talented 22-year-old is a highly skillful midfield playmaker, and contributed an impressive 10 goals and 10 assists to Bremen in his time on loan there last term, but he faces a great deal of high class competition for a place in Chelsea’s starting lineup, with the likes of Juan Mata, Eden Hazard, Oscar, Willian and Andre Schurrle all to contend with for one of the three attacking midfield spots.
Several other teams are interested in taking De Bruyne on loan, with other Bundesliga sides such as Bayer Leverkusen and Wolsburg monitoring his situation, as well as Dutch Eredivisie giants Ajax, and a move seems increasingly likely for the Belgian starlet after he was dropped to Chelsea’s Under-21 side recently by Mourinho.
