Chelsea midfielder Billy Clifford has joined Royal Antwerp on loan.
The 21-year-old will remain with the Belgian second division club until the end of the season.
Antwerp are currently managed by former Blues forward Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, who took charge of the side last year.
Clifford, who has yet to make a first-team appearance for Chelsea, has had previous loan spells at Yeovil Town and Colchester United.
