In January, Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino announced that he would be letting Ian Maatsen go on loan.
Up till the season ends, Maatsen will be a Borussia Dortmund player.
In his Friday press conference, Pochettino praised the move, saying it benefited the Blues.
The move benefits both the club and Maatsen, he added. My wish is that he can play elsewhere. This decision is beneficial for everyone concerned.
August of last year marked the debut of the Dutch youth international in the Premier League.
This season, Maatsen has played in 12 league games.
