Therefore, a loan deal would probably be the best solution.<\/p>\n<p>In terms of the ideal destination, the decision-makers at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thechelseachronicle.com\/club\/stadium\/\">Stamford Bridge<\/a> must be thinking about <strong>Strasbourg<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>They are Chelsea\u2019s sister club playing in one of Europe\u2019s top leagues.
