“I no longer wish to remain here. Pochettino isn’t granting me enough playing time or attention,” conveyed the Chelsea star to the club, expressing the desire to depart from Stamford Bridge this January.

Mauricio Pochettino has been notified by a Chelsea player regarding his wish to leave Stamford Bridge in January.

Sky Sports reporter Patrick Berger revealed that Ian Maatsen, Chelsea’s left-back, has expressed his desire to depart and has reached a personal agreement with Borussia Dortmund.

Borussia Dortmund is looking to secure Maatsen on a season-long loan, but Chelsea is adamant that any deal should include an obligation to purchase.

Chelsea is seeking a transfer fee of £30 million, similar to the bid they rejected from Burnley in the summer when Maatsen opted against the move.
