While Gilchrist is not currently available for loan, a number of other youngsters could leave on temporary deals before the transfer window closes.
Finnish national team goalkeeper Lucas Bergstrom is one player who can go on loan, and even a permanent departure is not ruled out.

Finnish national team goalkeeper Lucas Bergstrom is one player who can go on loan, and even a permanent departure is not ruled out.
Bergstrom is interested in Scandinavian clubs and could move to Norway, Finland and Sweden until March when the transfer windows close in those provinces. He is in the last six months of his contract, but Chelsea have the option to extend his contract by another year.
The 21-year-old has been a regular on the first-team bench as Pochettino often names two goalkeepers in his matchday squad.
Full-back Dylan Williams, who was also an unused substitute under Pochettino, is available on loan alongside fellow defender Zak Sturge, who was recalled by Peterborough United earlier this month..
