Jesse Derry

Sporting are closing in on a deal to sign Jesse Derry form Chelsea on a loan deal

[larslyn]

Haven't heard much about him tbh, but Sporting usually do well loaning young players from big clubs

[auroralia]

Haven't seen him play either, but Chelsea's academy is stacked so there's probably something there. Sporting's a good spot to get minutes and develop

[Vorlyn]

Another Chelsea academy kid heading to Portugal, seems like a solid move for all sides. Hope he gets decent minutes there 🤞

[morthienne4]

Sporting's scouting on these loans is usually on point, so if they want him there's probably a player in there

[woonrel]

Haven't seen him play yet but Chelsea's academy is stacked so he's probably got something about him. Sporting's a good move for getting proper minutes tbh

[marinakide]

yeah sporting picking up another chelsea kid feels like a smart bet fr 🤞

[steinyn]

Sporting do love picking up Chelsea academy lads, they've got a good track record with that. Let's see if he can get proper game time there

[Kovaenne]

Seems like a smart loan for everyone involved tbh, Chelsea get him development and Sporting get a decent talent without much risk

[Mikkmia]

ngl Sporting seems to be the go-to club for Chelsea loans and it usually works out decently, let's hope he actually gets on the pitch though

[buckkyy23]

ngl never watched him but chelsea academy usually delivers so this should work out ? ?

this ?this ?this ?

[neoxf9mu1]

football is life

[irisyn066]

Sporting feels like a way better shout than him rotting on Chelsea's bech or getting lost in the Championship shuffle. He'll actually get a real shot at minutes in a system that trusts young talent.

[krxenne3]

Chelsea academy pipeline never stops

[auroraoltia]

Proper move this, Derrry gets to play in a proper attacking setup and maybe we’ll see his odds drop for a breakout season if he hits the ground running in Liga Portugal.

beautiful game

[Raxolori]

I watched him in the Youth League last year and his movement off the ball is so sharp, reminded me of a young Mount the way he drifts into half spaces. If Sporting give him a consistent run he could be one of those loans that actually turns into something.

[Steinarique4]

hope he gets real minutes there, hate seeing young lads just warm the bench for years

[havenrion]

My mate was at that Youth League game against Zagreb and said he tracked back like a madman even in the 89th minute. If he carries that work rate to Portugal the fans will absolutely love him there.

another prominent young start from cohbam
