Borussia Dortmund table offer for Chelsea left-back Ian Maatsen with the Blues willing to allow Dutch Under-21 to seal Bundesliga switch on loan with an obligation to buy

Chelsea has not yet finalized the parameters of Borussia Dortmund’s official loan offer for left back Ian Maatsen.

After turning down £31.5 million from Burnley in the summer, Mauricio Pochettino has given him few chances to play this season at Chelsea.

Chelsea may take out a loan with the condition that they purchаse him instead of trying to sell him to raise money.After assisting Burnley in their promotion to the Premier League last season on loan, Maatsen turned down a permanent move to Burnley in the summer.

The Dutchman scored four goals and set up six more in 39 Championship outings for Burnley.Charlton and Coventry were Maatsen’s prior loan destinations.

Although he has started just once in the Premier League this season, Maatsen has made fifteen appearances for Chelsea in all competitions.The young player had stints in the development systems of Feyenoord and Sparta Rotterdam before joining Chelsea in 2018 via PSV’s academy.

Chelsea striker Armando Broja makes Carabao Cup winning admission ahead of Middlesbrough tie

Armando Broja, a forward for Chelsea, has said that getting to the final and winning it is crucial for a club of Chelsea’s magnitude. Tomorrow night, the Blues will play Middlesbrough in the first leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final at the Riverside Stadium.

Wins in the League Cup and FA Cup would cap off an outstanding season for the Blues, who have faltered in the league. “One of the biggest aims for the season is to win a trophy,” striker Armando remarked when asked what winning a title would meаn for a young club that had been expensively assembled. We aim to win as many trophies as possible because this holds great historical significance for the club.

After a lengthy ιnjury layoff last season, London-born Albanian attacker Broja will be looking to get back on track with a win over Middlesbrough. Against Preston North End in the FA Cup, he scored a goal, and that was his only goal of the season.

Chelsea are concerned that Christopher Nkunku has a new hip ιnjury, and strike partner Nicolas Jackson is with Senegal at the African Cup of Nations. Instead, Broja could lead the Blues to Wembley next month; he has admitted to discussing ways to improve his form with the manager and rediscover his smile.In addition, he mentioned that he had numerous discussions with the manager. After my ιnjury, I felt like I was going through a really tough time. Considering how long I was absent from the team and how little I was involved, it’s fair to sаy that I was feeling unhappy about things.

“I felt a lot more like myself when I returned. In my heart, I know that I still have a lot of untapped potential. “and I can work on making my body language more positive,” the gaffer advises.On occasion, I am too hard оn myself. That’s because I have high standards for myself and am confident in my abilities. The manager’s only intention is to distract me from that and lighten my load a bit. “I need to smile more and be a bit more positive.” His words have been speaking to me daily, so I’m doing my best to listen to him.

After losing the title to Liverpool in the 2022 final, Chelsea finally won the Carabao Cup in 2015. If they manage to make it to the League Cup final and win it against all odds, it will quickly turn around a campaign that had high hopes but mostly let them down.
