Chelsea defender Ian Maatsen has completed a season-long loan to Burnley to work under new Clarets boss Vincent Kompany. The 20-year-old heads to Turf Moor to undertake a second year of Championship football.
The left-back had participated in Chelsea's first team training when pre-season started on July 2nd but was left of the squad that travelled to the USA. His competition, in the form of Marcos Alonso, Emerson Palmieri, Ben Chilwell and Kenedy, all travelled to Los Angeles.
Maatsen had earlier rejected interest from Feyenoord and opted to work through pre-season with the Blues. If he had no role at Chelsea, looking at options in England to continue his development was part of his decision.
