Ian Maatsen proves Chelsea worth amid important Marc Cucurella summer transfer decision

Chelsea's on loan Burnley left back Ian Maatsen has been named in the official EFL Championship team of the season.

Maatsen, who joined the Clarets on a season-long-loan deal last summer, has enjoyed a superb campaign at Turf Moor, helping them secure an immediate return to the Premier League. The 21-year-old has made 35 Championship appearances so far this season, helping contribute to the best defensive record in the division.

Maatsen has also chipped in superbly at the other end of the pitch, too, netting four goals and providing six assists. He has played just 24 minutes of senior football for parent club Chelsea but has more than staked a claim for a first team role at Stamford Bridge next term.
