Chelsea midfielder makes Championship move on loan

There are just a few hours left in the transfer window, and players are departing on loan left right and centre.

One of the more interesting departures is for Xavier Simons, the young midfielder who has joined Hull for the season in the Championship.

Simons has impressed in the youth teams for many years now, and will finally get his chance to show what he can do with the big boys now. He’s got a great range of passing and some real top technical skill in his locker.

The Championship is not an easy league to play in, with plenty of very strong teams, a punishing calendar and an extremely high level of physicality.

It is the making of some players and the breaking of others, but we’ve seen plenty of passers from the Chelsea academy succeed there, and we certainly back Simons to be the next in that queue.
