Chelsea have confirmed the transfer arrangements of three academy players, with Ollie Harrison, Eva Hendle and Hudson Sands all leaving the club on loan ahead of the 2026/27 season.

In a statement released on Thursday, the Premier League club announced that midfielder Ollie Harrison has joined League One side Wimbledon on a season-long loan. Harrison progressed through Chelsea’s academy after joining the club at Under-16 level.

Chelsea also confirmed that winger Eva Hendle has completed a season-long loan move to Rangers from the club’s women’s team. Hendle joined the Chelsea Academy at the age of 12 after developing in the London City Lionesses youth setup. She recently signed her first professional contract, keeping her at the club until the summer of 2028.

Goalkeeper Hudson Sands has also secured a loan move to Dulwich Hamlet. Sands joined Chelsea’s academy at Under-8 level after progressing through the club’s pre-Academy programme and signed his first professional contract in October 2024 shortly after turning 17.

The loan moves are expected to provide the young players with valuable first-team experience as they continue their development.
