Franco Di Santo loan to Blackburn?

Rumours are getting stronger that Franco Di Santo will be going out on loan this season to gain more experience of Premier League football with Blackburn his most likely destination. Sam Allerdyce needs to bolster his forward line since the departure of Santa Cruz and Di Santo would be ideal.

Chelsea have already loaned out one of our exciting prospects this season and Di Santo is another that looks as though he would be allowed to leave on loan in order to continue his development.

Di Santo is a similar player and a natural goal scorer. He reminds me of Hernan Crespo with his movement. He is always looking to make runs and give the midfield options to play him in down the channels or through balls and his goal scoring record since he joined Chelsea at all levels is second to none.

With the likes of Andriy Shevchenko and Claudio Pizzaro back from their loan's last season the competition for places in the starting eleven is fierce and will push Di Santo down the pecking order.

For me, this will be a good move for him and for Chelsea. It will give him important experience playing in the Premier League and will enhance his maturity as a footballer and will benefit him and us in the season's to come.
