'He will hope to break into the Chelsea squad' - Experts rate Bristol City's chance of buying Jay Dasilva

Bristol City fans are still sweating over the future of Jay Dasilva.

The full-back was on loan from Chelsea this season and impressed enough to become a hit with Robins fans.

City do have an option to buy him now that his loan is up but, as of yet, there has been no word over his future.

Lee Johnson has confirmed he wants to keep Dasilva - along with Blues teammates Tomas Kalas and Kasey Palmer - but the player appeared to bid farewell to the club in an Instagram post earlier this week.

Writing in the Guardian, football statistician experts Who Scored rated the chances of different Blues players being involved at Stamford Bridge next season due to the Blues' transfer ban.

Whilst they rated Dasilva's chances of staying at Stamford Bridge as being just 2/10, they speculated that the player may not want to leave Chelsea on a permanent basis just yet.

'Hilarious to see Leeds United and Aston Villa implode under FFP' - What Bristol City fans want to see happen in the play-offs  

They said: "A regular at left-back for the England Under-21s, Dasilva has profited from a challenging spell in the Championship, where he has competed with fellow youngster Lloyd Kelly for a starting place at Bristol City.

"Dasilva has only just turned 21 but, given the difficult season Marcos Alonso has endured, he will have eye on the Spaniard’s spot in the team.

"Another loan move looks likely for Dasilva but, if he keeps developing, he will hope to break into the Chelsea squad before long.

"With three assists for Bristol City this season, he offers a real attacking threat from wide."
