Burnley FC: Ian Maatsen to visit 10 fans with Christmas gifts

Burnley defender Ian Maatsen is offering to pay for Christmas groceries and presents for 10 families "to give back to our fans".

The 20-year-old has asked for people to nominate "someone who could really use this", saying he will personally visit the winners on Christmas Eve.

He said he would bring food for a "proper" Christmas meal and "gifts for under the tree".

"This is the season of giving," he said.

On a video on his Instagram page, the footballer said: "It's a time to celebrate with your loved ones, but not everyone is able to do that, so that's why this year I want to give back to our fans.
