Former Chelsea whizkid Islam Feruz has been without a club for two years, it has been revealed.

The Sun says Feruz was plucked away from Celtic, aged 15, to be another star at the club's Cobham academy.

But such promise didn't translate into success for the striker as he was sent out on loan to Crete, Blackpool, Hibernian, Royal Excel Mouscron and Swindon Town.

And when his contract at Chelsea came to an end in 2017 he was released.

Despite only being 23 years old, Feruz has now been without a club for two years.

Over five years as a Blues player, and sent on as many loans, Feruz made just 20 professional appearances and scored no goals.
