Dortmund are set to sign Chelsea defender Ian Maatsen on loan until the end of the season. There is no option in the deal, but if he plays often, it should increase his value ahead of a summer sale.
Despite being one of the Blues' most highly-rated young players, Maatsen, 21, has failed to agree a contract extension leaving him facing free agency in just 18 months. Consequently, after rejecting the chance to re-join Burnley after spending last season on loan with them, the 21-year-old is obviously not only keen to play more minutes but also for a club that plays top European football two things Dortmund can offer.
