There are so many Chelsea players to keep track of in this window that it can be hard to keep them all in mind.
One player we’ve heard absolutely nothing about so far this summer is Omari Kellyman. Once upon a time a much derided £20m signing, the former Aston Villa man had his first season at Chelsea cut short by injury. Since then he’s been recovering his reputation with lower league loans.
So what’s next for him? According to Ben Jacobs, something a little more solid than a loan.
Omari Kellyman could move to Chelsea’s sister club

The well connected Chelsea insider says that “a permanent move to Strasbourg is one option.”
Because the Blues share owners with the Alsatians this allows them to keep some level of control over Kellyman’s future, without using up one of their precious international loan slots.
But it’s not the only potential route for Kellyman – “other English and European clubs are also keen.”
If he is loaned, we suspect a domestic loan is more likely for the squad registration reasons listed above.
