The 23-year-old has made just one appearance in 2019/20 – against Colchester United in the EFL Cup (August 27) – and finds himself behind Mamadou Sakho, Gary Cahill, James Tomkins, Scott Dann and Martin Kelly in the pecking order.
Sport Witness revealed earlier in September that Riedewald nearly joined SC Paderborn 07 on loan over the summer. The Netherlands international reportedly completed a medical and had a shirt number assigned for him before the deal collapsed.
Sporting director Martin Przondziono has kept up the charm offensive, recently calling Riedewald ‘an interesting player’, but it remains to be seen if they’ll return for the defender in January.
