Chelsea strlet Dominic Solanke trains with Vitesse ahead of loan move
The 17-year-old is set to become the fifth
Stamford Bridge youngster to join the Eredivisie side on loan
Chelsea starlet Dominic Solanke is set to
join Vitesse Arnhem on a one-year loan deal, the Eredivisie side have
confirmed.
Solanke, 17, impressed for Chelsea’s youth
team last season, and was handed the No.35 shirt by Jose Mourinho last
month.
But the young forward will now be the fifth
Stamford Bridge youngster to be sent on loan to partner club Vitesse for
the 2015-16 campaign after the Dutch side
issued a statement on Tuesday.
"Dominic Solanke will be
training with Vitesse from Tuesday on,” the statement read. “The attacker has a
fine reputation as a proven goalscorer and represented England at Under-16,
U-17 and U-18 level. Club and player hope to agree terms shortly."
Mourinho had said earlier in April
that he planned to use Solanke in his first team squad this season, adding that
it would be a "big mistake" for the youngster to go out on loan.
But the Portuguese coach has since
signed Radamel Falcao on a season-long loan deal from Monaco, increasing
competition for places up front along with Diego Costa and Loic Remy.
Solanke will join Danilo Pantic,
Isaiah Brown, Nathan and Lewis Baker at Vitesse should he agree a loan move,
with Nemanja Matic, Tomas Kalas and Gael Kakuta previous Chelsea loanees at the
Dutch club.
