Chelsea midfielder Mason Mount has joined Vitesse on a season-long loan deal.
Young players from Stamford Bridge making the switch to the Dutch club is a common occurrence, with Charlie Colkett and Fankaty Dabo having already completed similar transfers.
The 18-year-old will take a place in the Eredivisie outfit's first-team squad for the upcoming campaign, having signed a long-term contract at Stamford Bridge.
Last season, Mount was named as Chelsea's Academy Player of the Year after leading the team to the FA Youth Cup, while he also hit the headlines for his role in the England Under-19 team which won the European Championships earlier this month.
As it stands, Chelsea have loaned out 17 players ahead of the new season, with more expected to follow before the end of the transfer window.
