Chelsea confirm departure of two players after Burstow’s arrival

Following Mason Burstow’s arrival from Charlton Athletic, Chelsea announced the departure of two players on Tuesday.

Burstow was a Charlton Athletic player who had been signed by Chelsea.

Burstow, on the other hand, was returned to the Valley on loan for the duration of the 2021-22 season by the Blues.

Chelsea revealed Ethan Wady and Sami Tlemcani, both academy goalkeepers, had left the club on loan just minutes after confirming Burstow’s contract.

Tlemcani joined Merstham in the Isthmian League Premier Division, while Wady joined Hendon.

In a statement via their website, Chelsea said, “Academy goalkeeper Ethan Wady has moved on loan to Hendon.

“The American, who joined the Chelsea Academy during the 2017/18 campaign, has previously gained first-team experience on loan at Tooting & Mitcham United in the Isthmian League and with National League South side Dartford. Hendon play in the Southern League Premier Division South.

“Wady turned 20 last week and has made three development squad appearances in 2021/22.”

It added: “Another Academy goalkeeper, Sami Tlemcani, has joined Isthmian League Premier Division side Merstham on loan until the end of the season.

“The 17-year-old arrived at Chelsea in October 2020 from Paris FC in his native France. He has made four appearances for our Under-18s and will now continue his development in the seventh tier of English football at Surrey club Merstham, who are 15th in the table.”
