However, any overseas move may be limited by Fifa regulations, which allow a maximum of six international loan slots per club.Kellyman is also attracting interest from a number of Championship clubs, and Chelsea are keen for him to continue gaining experience and proving his fitness next season before returning to Stamford Bridge.Related topicsFootballChelseaCardiff City
