Ian Maatsen: Chelsea defender joins Jadon Sancho at Borussia Dortmund with loan move

Borussia Dortmund have signed Chelsea defender Ian Maatsen on loan for the rest of the season.

The Netherlands Under-21 international spent last season on loan at Burnley but rejected a permanent move to Turf Moor in August.

Although Maatsen is moving to Germany for now, he has also signed a contract extension until 2026 with Chelsea.

Speaking on Friday ahead of his side's trip to Darmstadt on Saturday, Dortmund coach Edin Terzic backed Maatsen to make a positive impact at the club.

"We hope that Ian will quickly fit into the group and become an important factor for us," he said.
