Report: Chelsea youngster agrees loan switch to Championship side

Marc Guehi set to return to Swansea City on loan

According to a report from BBC, Chelsea youngster Marc Guehi as agreed to return to Championship outfit Swansea City on a season-long loan deal.

The 20-year-old Guehi is a product of the Blues’ youth academy. He made his senior debut for the club in September last year, in the Carabao Cup clash against Grimsby Town.

The January transfer window saw the young defender leave Chelsea on loan in search of regular game-time. Having joined Swansea, Guehi became a key part of Steve Cooper’s team, helping them to the Championship playoffs.

The 20-year-old featured 14 times for the Welsh outfit, including the two-legged playoff semi-final tie against Brentford. (h/t Transfermarkt)

Back at the club, Guehi is unlikely to find a lot of opportunities, with Chelsea closing in on the signing of two centre-backs in the form of Thiago Silva and Malang Sarr.

So, another loan spell is the right course of action for the England U21 international. And as per the report, he has agreed to return to Swansea for the 2020/21 campaign.
