Chelsea releases trio of young prospects on loan to Swindon
Three of Chelsea's promising academy products are set to spend the rest of the season with League One side Swindon Town after signing on loan with the club.
21-year-old right-back Fankaty Dabo, 20-year-old central midfielder Charlie Colkett, and 21-year-old striker Islam Feruz will join the Wiltshire-based side on contract until the end of the season, the club reported on its website.
Colkett spent the first half of the 2016-17 season with Bristol Rovers, making 17 appearances and notching three goals. Feruz spent his time playing club football in Belgium and appeared eight times for Mouscron. Dabo has never been on loan, though he is a member of the England U20 squad.
Swindon Town is in need of reinforcements across the pitch, as it currently occupies 19th place in League One with 26 points in the same amount of games played.
The young Chelsea products could appear for Swindon as early as this Saturday's trip to the Macron Stadium to play Bolton in league action.
