Lewis Baker to spend season at Vitesse

Chelsea midfielder Lewis Baker has been loaned out to Vitesse for the whole of next season.

The 20-year-old, who has made just one substitute appearance at Stamford Bridge, ended the last campaign at MK Dons, where he scored four times in 12 matches.

The England Under-20 skipper had been in contention for promotion to the first-team setup at the Premier League champions, but manager Jose Mourinho has decided to allow the player to spend a year in the Dutch top flight.

Josh McEachran and Bertrand Traore spent last season in the Netherlands with Vitesse, who finished in fifth place in the league standings.
