He's ready for a loan move.

Turns out he's the nephew of Ty from AFTV.

Scenes if he becomes their new Drogba.

He also got a medal.

Give him loan.

Big honour for him:

 

“Lokomotiv’s No 10 had been retired since 2013 in honour of Dmitri Loskov — the attacking midfielder who played more than 400 games across three spells at the club, scoring 128 goals — and only restored for his one ceremonial farewell appearance at the end of the 2016-17 season. Sitting at the top of Lokomotiv’s all-time scoring and appearance lists, it is hard to dispute his claim to be considered the biggest icon in the club’s history, well worthy of having his number set aside forever.”

we have a buyback clause (£34m)

 

Lokomotiv have a buy-option set at £17m, which they apparently will activate as long as Anjorin performs well, but that buy-option also includes a buy-back provision for Chelsea at twice the price (£34m).

Chelsea agree to loan out Tino Anjorin with first-team pathway mapped out

https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/tino-anjorin-Chelsea-loan-transfer-b1093283.html

Chelsea will allow Tino Anjorin to go on loan next season after outlining their belief that the academy midfielder can progress at the club.

The 21-year-old will now search for a suitable season-long loan after it was agreed that it would suit both parties for him to remain on the Stamford Bridge books.

The Blues will assist the England Under-20 international in finding a move after several injury-hit seasons since he turned professional.

Anjorin has offers from England, France, the Netherlands and Denmark as he seeks to prove why Frank Lampard handed him five senior appearances between 2019 and 2020.

Chelsea have Anjorin under contract until 2025 and will reassess his future next summer, either opting to sell him or offering him a new contract after a successful loan spell.

Anjorin has only played 26 games on loan at Lokomotiv Moscow and Huddersfield since making his debut for Chelsea. He fractured his metatarsal while playing in Russia and then suffered an ankle injury last season in the Championship.

Meanwhile, Ishe Samuels-Smith will stay in Chelsea’s Under-21s until January before the club evaluates whether to send him out on loan.

The 17-year-old joined the Blues over the weekend after completing a £4million move from Everton.

Anjorin has been training with a group of players referred to as the ‘loan group’ at Cobham. It features some of Chelsea’s best young English talents including Anjorin and Harvey Vale, along with players who are up for sale like Callum Hudson-Odoi.

Romelu Lukaku and Ethan Ampadu are expected to join this group when they return for pre-season this week.

Chelsea’s Anjorin gears up for vital season – but where will he be playing?

https://theathletic.com/4748654/2023/08/08/anjorin-Chelsea-premier-league/

As one Chelsea youngster after another impressed during the club’s pre-season tour of the U.S., the question ‘where is Tino Anjorin?’ sprang to mind.

With new head coach Mauricio Pochettino freshly in charge, the tour was the perfect opportunity for someone like Anjorin, 21, to make an impact and stake his claim for a place in the squad.

But while fellow academy graduates Ian Maatsen and Bashir Humphreys did their utmost to do that, Anjorin was left behind at the club’s training base in Cobham.

This was not because he is on the Chelsea’s ‘for sale’ wish list like Romelu Lukaku and Hakim Ziyech, who are no longer wanted at Stamford Bridge and do not want to stay either.

Anjorin is actually still highly regarded at Chelsea but he has been spending the summer working on his fitness and recovering from the latest setback in his fledgling career.

Next month will mark the fourth anniversary of the attacking midfielder’s debut for the club (an EFL Cup game against Grimsby). Then, a little over a year after making his first-team bow, Anjorin started his first Champions League game for Chelsea against Krasnodar in December 2020.

However, over the past two years he has spent more time on the sidelines than on the pitch. Bad luck, rather than a lack of ability, has been the cause.

Here’s a brief recap of what has gone wrong: in the summer of 2021 he caught Covid-19, which hindered his chances of being ready to play for Chelsea under Thomas Tuchel, who was a big admirer.

Later that year he moved to Lokomotiv Moscow on loan with a view of joining them permanently for £17million ($21.7m). Yet just a few months into his Russian adventure, Anjorin broke his metatarsal and returned to Chelsea.

Last campaign he went to Huddersfield on a season-long loan. It was his second spell at the Yorkshire club after having joining them for the second half of 2021-22 (after Lokomotiv Moscow had ended their agreement).

Anjorin began strongly, establishing himself in the first team but caught glandular fever (Mono) and was out for three months. The day before his comeback match against Sheffield United in December, he suffered a serious ankle injury in training. It required an operation and he was ruled out for the rest of the season.

So that is why Anjorin has been working on his fitness for months in a bid to get ready for this season. It has helped that fellow academy graduate Armando Broja, who suffered a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament in his knee last December, has been going through rehab with him at the same time.

Now the focus is on what the future has in store. Chelsea do not want to sell Anjorin, who has two years left on his contract, but are prepared to send him out on loan. The decision of where he goes is even more important as a result of his lack of top-level minutes.

Pictures have circulated on social media of Anjorin visiting some of the contenders. Portsmouth, who play in League One, are one of them. Their interest makes sense because former Chelsea academy coach Jon Harley is assistant manager there.

Anjorin was also seen recently at Dutch club FC Volendam, who were promoted to the top division (Eredivisie) in 2022 and finished 14th last season. There are Championship clubs, plus teams in France and Denmark, that are keen as well.

Clearly playing regularly is a must for Anjorin’s potential to be fulfilled whether it be at Chelsea or somewhere else.

Anjorin is keeping his options open and is not rushing the decision. Of the contenders, FC Volendam’s name is perhaps the most surprising because they are not well known. However, the style of play in the Netherlands compared will suit him more than it did in the EFL.

Then there is the fact many Chelsea academy players have benefited from spells in the past at Dutch sides, notably Noni Madueke, who Chelsea signed from PSV Eindhoven for €33million (£28.4m; $36.3m) in January having thrived in Dutch football after leaving Tottenham Hotspur’s youth ranks.

The picture should become clearer soon and it is worth noting that Anjorin has already shown the maturity to cope with the various setbacks which have hindered his progression.

Speaking to The Athletic last year, he said: “Being patient is part of football. Everyone needs patience, but you need to be hungry too and keep working. You don’t want to be just sitting around waiting for the chance to happen. It may never come. I will always try my best, put myself in a position where I am starting every single game that I can. I’d love to do that.”

Surely 2023-24 will grant him that wish.

Should be sold with a buy back at this stage of his career.

If he had not broken his ankle, we would have gotten £17m for him from Lokomotiv

he was blowing up there

Bad luck. He is basially the exact same player Chukwuemeka is, just 2 years older
