Ian Maatsen is part of the Chelsea first-team squad at the moment, but it seems that head coach Mauricio Pochettino may not have him beyond the January transfer window.
Chelsea head coach Mauricio Pochettino is not starting Ian Maatsen regularly, but the 21-year-old is getting matches.
Maatsen is a versatile player who can play as a full-back or as a winger.
Pochettino has even used the 21-year-old Dutchman on the right of a three-man attacking midfield.
The Chelsea no. 29 has made four substitute appearances in the Premier League so far this season.
Maatsen has played 35 minutes in those games.
The Dutchman has also made two appearances in the League Cup.
Chelsea could sell Ian Maatsen in January
However, Chelsea could still sell Maatsen in the January transfer window.
According to The Telegraph, Maatsen is out of contract at Chelsea at the end of the season.
The former Premier League and UEFA Champions League winners are struggling to convince the youngster to pen to paper on a new deal.
So, Chelsea could be open to selling Maatsen in the January transfer window, according to the report.
Ian Maatsen should see out his Chelsea contract
In my opinion, Chelsea youngster Ian Maatsen should see out his contract at the Blues.
I do not think that Maatsen – hailed as a “top player” by his former Coventry City boss Mark Robins, should rush into signing a new deal.
Just because Chelsea could sell him in January does not mean that the player should leave.
What is the worst that could happen if he refuses to sign a new deal and does not leave in January?
Maatsen would not get too many chances for the Chelsea first team in the second half of the season.
It is not as if Maatsen is starting week in and week out now.
I think that the youngster has the future in his own hands now.
If Maatsen does well for Chelsea when he gets playing time, then other clubs will show interest in him.
And, as a potential free agent next summer, he would be able to pick his next club.
