Chalobah seals Burnley loan switch

Burnley have made their second signing of deadline day with Nathaniel Chalobah joining on loan from Chelsea until January.

The England Under-21 midfielder moves to Turf Moor following temporary spells with Nottingham Forest and Middlesbrough in the Championship last season.

Chalobah becomes the second player to bolster manager Sean Dyche s squad on Monday after George Boyd s earlier arrival from Hull City on a three-year deal.

The 19-year-old won the European Under-17 Championship with England in 2010 and helped Watford to the Championship play-off final amid a successful stay in 2012-13, although he is yet to make a Premier League appearance.

He is currently on duty with Gareth Southgate s England Under-21 squad, where he is joined by new Burnley team-mate Danny Ings for European Championship qualifiers against Lithuania and Moldova.

Pleased to join Burnley on loan. Looking forward to meeting my new team-mates after international duty, Chalobah posted via his official Twitter account.
