Done deals : Chelsea loan out two promising goalkeepers

Published: February 01, 2022

Southern League Premier Division South club Hendon FC announced the loan signing of Chelsea youth-teamer Ethan Wady on Tuesday.

The deal was completed in time before the closure of the January transfer window and he was eligible for the ongoing game against Gosport Borough.

The American-born glovesman previously spent time on loan with Tooting & Mitcham United and National League South side Dartford last season.

Wady joined Chelsea midway through the 2017-2018 season and signed a scholarship deal in July 2018 before inking his first professional contract at the end of the 2019-2020 campaign.

The European champions have also loaned out teenage French-born Moroccan goalkeeper Sami Tlemcani.

Tlemcani will be spending the remainder of the season at Merstham FC who compete in the Isthmian League Premier Division.

The 17-year-old was on the bench for Morocco in a 2022 World Cup qualifier against Guinea in October 2021 but was left out of their squad for the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations.
