With manager Jose Mourinho already having given midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek and striker Dominic Solanke some action in and around the first team squad this season, this duo will be hopeful of featuring if they can impress in the third tier:

Alex Kiwomya (Barnsley)

Teenage striker Alex Kiwomya is known for his blinding pace, an attribute that he will now have the opportunity to test League One defences with during a month on loan with Barnsley and Danny Wilson. The Tykes are currently stuck in mid-table in the third tier, but have already had success with one loanee this season in the shape of Manchester City striker Devante Cole, so will be hoping that the electrifying Kiwomya can also make a significant impact on their season.

John Swift (Swindon Town)

Midfielder John Swift could come up against Kiwomya during his spell at Swindon Town, who he will be looking to help secure promotion to the Championship after Mark Cooper’s side enjoyed a fine start to the season. Known for their enterprising, passing style of play, Swindon have won many plaudits in League One this season and could prove to be the ideal environment for a player such as Swift to flourish in. The Robins have had a number of promising Premier League youngsters on loan in recent seasons, including Tottenham Hotspur duo Ryan Mason and Alex Pritchard.
