Chelsea to send Wallace out on loan

Chelsea are likely to send Brazilian defender Wallace out on loan this summer.

The 19-year old full-back signed with the Blues from Fluminense in December but was sent back to his former club immediately.

There was talk of him staying put at Stamford Bridge but with Jose Mourinho now taking charge in Southwest London, Wallace could be sent away for another loan spell according to his agent Fred Moraes.

"Wallace is leaving Fluminense on Tuesday and I think it's important to say that he will go to England in early July," Moraes told Lancenet.

"Our intention is that Wallace stays at Chelsea during his first season there but it will depend on what Jose Mourinho decides.

"A loan deal has not been ruled out. Clubs have already expressed interest again due to all the speculation.

"There are two Italian clubs that are interested and a German club have sounded us out too."
