Chelsea's Islam Feruz joins OFI Crete on loan

Chelsea have announced that Islam Feruz has joined Greek side OFI Crete on a season-long loan.

The striker, who had been attracting interest from a number of Championship clubs, has won the FA Youth Cup and Under-21 Premier League since joining the Blues in 2011.

Feruz, who has four caps for Scotland's Under-21 international side, began his youth career with Celtic before moving to Stamford Bridge, where he signed a new long-term contract earlier this year.

Crete finished sixth in the Greek top flight last year, and are managed by former Italy international Gennaro Gattuso.
