It has seemed likely Matt Miazga will be loaned out by Chelsea this season, but the rumor mill has been slow to pair the lightly-used center back with options for the playing time his coach has said he needs in order to develop.
Finally, Bild stepped forward with the identity of a club interested in the New York Red Bulls' academy graduate and hero of the MLS club's 2015 Supporters' Shield winning campaign: Eintracht Frankfurt.
The rumor spread far and wide, though ESPN FC found a source who said Miazga's options were "numerous", and perhaps Frankfurt wasn't as close to sealing a deal as some had thought.
