Chelsea advised to loan out January signing

Chelsea have been advised to loan their new defender Benoit Badiashile back to a Ligue 1 club after he completed his transfer to Stamford Bridge this January, according to France-based CBS Sports Golazo journalist, Jonathan Johnson.

This comes after Chelsea confirmed the signing of Badiashile from French Ligue side Monaco on Thursday.

Badiahile penned a seven-and-a-half-year deal with the Blues to become Boehly’s first January signing.

But Jonathan is of the opinion that it would be wise for Chelsea to send the 21-year-old left centre-back on loan for the remainder of the season.

“I think that he [Badiashile] has the makings of a good Premier League defender. However, Chelsea might be wise to consider loaning him back to a Ligue 1 club for the rest of the season,” Johnson told Football.London.

Badiashile will have to compete for a spot in Chelsea’s centre-back to get regular game time ahead of the likes of Wesley Fofana, Thiago Silva, among others.
