Chelsea midfielder Charlie Colkett has signed for Vitesse Arnhem.

Colkett's loan move was settled on Thursday. He will spend the season in Holland.

"We were still looking for a left-footed midfielder. Charlie is strong in the passing game and the position," said technical director Mo Allach.

"With his arrival, it adds variation to our midfield."

Colkett declared: "Teammates who also played for Vitesse, such as Lewis Baker, have told me what a great experience it has been for them. In addition, it is a bonus for me that Fankaty (Dabo) also plays here, also off the field with whom I am close."
