Sergio Canales has claimed Chelsea midfielder Oriol Romeu is open to the prospect of joining Valencia on a season-long loan. Reports have claimed that Chelsea are willing to let Romeu head out on loan and he has been linked with a move to Celta Vigo. However, Valencia have emerged as the leading candidates to sign the 21-year-old, according to reports in Spain, and a deal could be concluded next week. Valencia midfielder Canales, who is a former team-mate of Romeu at youth level for Spain, believes a move to the Mestalla would be good for the ex-Barcelona youngster. "I have spoken with Oriol and I say sincerely that he is very taken by the option of Valencia," Canales told Superdeporte. "This squad is perfect for a player to progress." Romeu joined Chelsea two years ago from Barcelona, but he has been restricted to just 33 appearances during his time at Stamford Bridge. (JF)
