Dominic Solanke to join Vitesse on loan

Vitesse have confirmed that they intend to sign Dominic Solanke on a season-long loan from Chelsea.

The 17-year-old has been training with the Dutch side, despite manager Jose Mourinho previously claiming that he would get a chance with the Premier League champions' first team this season.

A statement from the club said: "Dominick Solanke will be training with Vitesse from Tuesday. The attacker has a fine reputation as a proven goalscorer and represented England at Under-16, U17 and U18 level. Club and players hope to agree terms shortly."

Solanke is the fifth Chelsea player to join Vitesse on loan for the 2015-16 season, alongside Danilo Pantic, Isaiah Brown, Nathan Baker and Lewis Baker.
