The Wales international defender wasn’t included in Chelsea’s 20 man matchday squad for their opening day win against Crystal Palace.

Reports state that Chelsea are happy for the player to go out on another loan for the 2021-22 season.

Indeed, the 20-year-old 26 cap international is likely to sign elsewhere before the window closes on 31 August.

Magpies to consider bids for FOUR players

Newcastle United will now consider offers for Sean Longstaff, Fabian Schar, Ciaran Clark and Jeff Hendrick, according to the Daily Mail.

Despite netting a small transfer fee for Florian Lejeune and moving a few players on the report suggests Steve Bruce will have to cut his squad down if he is to sanction any more incomings.

Newcastle United £5million windfall from Adam Armstrong’s transfer from Blackburn to Southampton.

And the Tynesiders have allowed Lejune to depart alongside Andy Carroll, Henri Saivet, Yoshinori Muto and Christian Atsu so far this summer.
