Chelsea defender Matt Miazga set for return to the United States to play for FC Cincinnati... after six years abroad and FIVE loan moves

Matt Miazga is in talks over a move back to the United States to join FC Cincinnati after playing just twice in his six years at Chelsea.

A veteran of Chelsea's infamous 'loan army', the New Jersey native only played two official matches for his parent club during the 2016 season, before being loaned to five different clubs between 2016 and 2022.

Miazga spent two years in the Netherlands on loan with Vitesse, where he'd help the club win the KNVB Cup in the 2016-17 season.
