Feruz, who is a Scotland Under-21 international, signed a new long-term deal with the Blues in January. Talented: Islam Feruz in action during the NextGen series match between Chelsea U19 and Ajax U19 in Aldershot . Experience: Jose Mourinho wanted the forward to experience senior football .

Feruz is yet to make his senior bow for the Blues but has featured in various pre-season matches. Loan list: Lucas Piazon (left) has spent the last three seasons out on loan, and Christian Atsu (right) was loaned out to Everton for this season .
