Chelsea will allow England U21 midfielder Kasey Palmer to go out on loan before Wednesday's transfer deadline.

A number of Championship clubs are understood to be keen to sign the 21-year old, who played a major role for Huddersfield last season, helping them win promotion to the Premier League for the first time.

Palmer made 25 league appearances, scoring five goals, in the Championship last season before missing the last four months of the season through injury. He returned as an extra-time substitute in the play-off final in May as Huddersfield were promoted.

The Chelsea midfielder rejoined Huddersfield on a season-long loan in August but suffered a hamstring injury after starting their first four games of the season.

Since returning to fitness he struggled to regain his place in David Wagner's side and so his parent club opted to cut the loan deal short. He will now be allowed to join a Championship side until the end of the season.
