Nathaniel Chalobah has today joined newly promoted Burnley on a loan until January 2nd.

The 19-year old midfielder spent all of last season on loan at Middlesbrough, making 19 appearances. Chalobah had previously spent two other seasons in the 2nd tier of English football, at Nottingham Forest and Watford. The youngster impressed during his time with Watford but failed to recapture that form while at Forest and Middlesbrough.

Mourinho has decided that it is time for him to gain top-flight experience in order to fight for a first-team place next season as the Chelsea boss looks to bring English talent through the ranks.
