Oriol Romeu joins La Liga outfit Valencia on loan

Chelsea midfielder Oriol Romeu has accepted to join La Liga side Valencia on a season-long loan deal. The 21-year-old moved to the Blues from Catalan giants Barcelona two years ago and has since failed to cement his place in the starting line-up.

Romeu, who has represented Spain at every youth level, has made 33 apperances for the Stamford Bridge club but missed the second half of last season with a serious knee injury.

Romeu will join the likes of Marko Marin, Thibaut Courtois and Patrick van Aanholt in signing up to temporary moves away from West London club.Romelu Lukaku, who was very impressive at his time with the Baggies may still remain a key player for the upcoming season.
