DONE DEAL: Chelsea defender Bashir Humphreys joins Paderborn

Chelsea defender Bashir Humphreys has completed a loan move to Bundesliga 2 side Paderborn until the end of the season.

Humphreys, 19, has been captain of Chelsea's development squad since the start of last season.

He has regularly been involved with the first team under Graham Potter and made his senior debut for Chelsea earlier this month in the FA Cup third round tie against Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium.

Humphreys was a part of the England under-20 side that won the European Championships last summer.

Paderborn sit in sixth place in the German second tier and Humphreys will be looking to take the next step in his professional career by playing regularly in a new country.
