The1905.Club Summary

Chelsea are actively working on outgoings before the transfer window closes, and Vale looks set to be one of the players leaving. Despite being rated by Enzo Maresca, Vale has not had a real chance to break into the first team, making just two appearances in the UEFA Conference League this season. Reports suggest Chelsea are willing to let him leave without a transfer fee, instead focusing on a sell-on clause and bonus payments in the deal. The 20-year-old has spent recent seasons on loan, impressing at Bristol Rovers, where he was described as "superb" by local media. His move to QPR will give him the opportunity to play regular first-team football and continue his development.
