Chelsea have confirmed the permanent departures of Kyle Jameson and Cristian Cuevas to West Bromwich Albion
and FC Twente respectively while young midfielder Charlie Wakefield has
joined League Two Stevenage for the rest of the current campaign.
Jameson, has signed a one-year deal with the option for a second with
the Baggies and has joined up with the Under-23 squad at the Hawthorns
after leaving the Premier League champions for good, rather than on a temporary deal.
The 18-year-old centre-half has already played a couple of matches
for West Brom's Under-23s and expressed his delight at swapping the
capital for the midlands: "I'm delighted. I did a bit of research and
this is a wonderful club," Jameson told West Brom's official website.
"I've already played a couple of games and enjoyed it. Once we start
working together as a team then we'll start winning matches."
Jameson was not the only defender to leave Chelsea on a permanent
deal on deadline day. Chilean left-back Cuevas has joined Twente on a
one-year loan deal which takes him up to the end of his contract at
Stamford Bridge, who expires in 2018.
Cuevas,22, who never turned out for the Chelsea senior side, is
relishing the "beautiful challenge" he is set to face at De Grolsch
Veste: "I am very happy with this step," Cuevas said. "In Chile, we know
FC Twente of Felipe Gutierrez. FC Twente is a big club and I see this
as a beautiful challenge. I'm a left back who plays a lot of passion and
gives everything to the team, like more Chilean."
Midfielder Wakefield has meanwhile moved to Stevenage on short-term
deal until the end of the season. The 17-year-old will not join up with
his new club until October though, as he is currently undergoing
treatment on an unspecified injury.
In terms of incomings, Chelsea are set to be busy during the closing
hours of the transfer window. Torino defender Davide Zappacosta is
undergoing a medical after jetting into London, according to the Daily Mail, while moves for Leicester City duo Danny Drinkwater and Riyad Mahrez are still eminently possible.
While news regarding the aforementioned trio is no doubt encouraging
for Chelsea supporters, Antonio Conte's men have all but missed out on Swansea City's Fernando Llorente - the Spaniard looks set to join Tottenham - who hijacked their rivals' move for the forward last night.
