Vitesse Arnhem loan Chelsea's Cristian Cuevas

Dutch side Vitesse Arnhem have secured the services of Chelsea wing-back Cristian Cuevas on a season-long loan basis.

The Chilean only joined the Blues last month, but the Premier League outfit have decided to immediately send him out on loan to gain match experience.

"Cuevas is known as a great talent. The left-footed player can operate anywhere along the left side," read a statement on Vitesse's official website.

He will link up with his Vitesse teammates once he is granted a work permit.
