Chelsea has loaned out their striker, Pedro Hervaldo, to Monaco in the January transfer window to boost their attacking options.

The Brazilian forward is set to join his former club, who he spent time with during his youth career, on a season-long loan deal until June next year. The move comes after Chelsea struggled to find a consistent goal scorer up front this season and needed to add some firepower to their squad.

Hervaldo is known for his clinical finishing and ability to score from set-pieces, which should give Monaco's attack a much-needed boost. He has already scored two goals in just three appearances for Monaco so far this season, showing that he can be a valuable asset to the team.

In return, Chelsea will receive a fee for the loan, although it is not yet clear how much this will be. However, it is expected that the club will recoup some of their investment in Hervaldo by selling him back to them at the end of the loan period.

Overall, this move looks like a smart one for both Chelsea and Monaco. It provides Hervaldo with an opportunity to showcase his talents and potentially earn himself a permanent contract with the club, while also providing Monaco with an experienced and talented attacker to help them challenge for honours in Ligue 1.
