Chelsea midfielder Omari Kellyman is reportedly exploring a loan move in the upcoming January transfer window to secure more game time and accelerate his development.

The 19-year-old, who joined Chelsea from Aston Villa in a £19 million deal during the summer, has yet to make a senior appearance under manager Enzo Maresca.

Despite his promising potential, Kellyman has struggled to break into the first team, with Chelsea’s midfield options offering stiff competition.

A loan move could provide the youngster with the opportunity to gain valuable experience and showcase his abilities at a high level.

Kellyman is highly regarded for his technical skills and creativity, attributes that could flourish with regular minutes in a competitive environment.

Chelsea’s strategy of loaning out young players to aid their progression has been successful in the past, with several players returning to the club better equipped for the demands of the Premier League.

As January approaches, discussions about potential destinations are expected to intensify, with clubs from the Championship and lower-tier Premier League teams likely to express interest in securing his services.
