Official: The Identity Of The 35th Player Loaned Out By Chelsea Revealed

Published: August 31, 2018

Goalkeeper Brad Collins is the 35th player to be loaned out by Premier League side Chelsea in the summer transfer window.

EFL League One club Burton Albion have confirmed the deadline day signing of Collins on loan until January 2, 2019.

Four Nigerian stars Ike Ugbo, Ola Aina, Fikayo Tomori and Kenneth Omeruo are amongst the players that have been loaned out by the Stamford Bridge outfit this summer.

Southampton native Collins spent the entirety of last season on loan at League Two club Forest Green Rovers.

Burton Albion had been desperate to sign a goalkeeper following the injury sustained by Stephen Bywater in the League Cup tie with Aston Villa on Tuesday.

Collins has been on the books of Chelsea since U12 level but has yet to debut for their first team.
