Young Chelsea striker heads out on loan

Chelsea forward Joao Rodriguez has returned to his native Colombia for a year-long loan at Bogota-based Sante Fe.

The 20-year-old joined the Blues in July 2013 from Deportes Quindio, after impressing on trial.

He has since been loaned out to Uniautonoma in Colombia, French side Bastia, Vitoria de Setubal in Portugal and Belgian outfit Sint-Truiden.

Rodriguez, a Colombian Under-20 international, will be with Santa Fe for the whole of the 2016-17 season.
