A Rising Star from the Netherlands

Borussia Dortmund has signed Dutch left-back Ian Maatsen on loan from Premier League club Chelsea. Maatsen, aged 22, is a highly rated prospect who has represented the Netherlands at various youth levels.

From Vlaardingen to the Bundesliga

Maatsen was born in Vlaardingen, Netherlands, on March 10, 2002. He began his professional career with Feyenoord before joining Chelsea in 2018. After loan spells at Charlton Athletic and Burnley, he is now set to make his Bundesliga debut.

Impressive Debut for BVB

Maatsen made his BVB debut on Friday in the starting eleven. He played the entire match and impressed with a strong performance. His deft crosses and defensive solidity bodes well for the club's future.

First Goal of the Pochettino Era

Maatsen's versatility was demonstrated during Chelsea's tour of the USA last summer, where he scored the first goal under manager Mauricio Pochettino in a 5-0 win over AFC Wrexham.
