Lewis Baker will spend the 2015/16 season on loan at Vitesse Arnhem in the Dutch Eredivisie, Chelsea have announced.

The England under-20 captain is contracted to Chelsea for a further four years and ended last season by helping MK Dons win automatic promotion to the Championship.

The Blues have an established link with Vitesse and will hope the Dutch side aid his development.

"We have agreed terms with Vitesse Arnhem for Lewis Baker to spend the 2015/16 season on loan at the Dutch club," Chelsea said on their official website.
