Chelsea youngster Ian Maatsen filmed celebrating after rejecting Burnley move

Chelsea left-back Ian Maatsen has pledged his allegiance to the club after footage of the 21-year-old celebrating rejecting a move to Burnley emerged online.

The Dutchman turned down the chance to return to Burnley on a season-long loan on transfer deadline day which included a £31.5million obligation to buy.

A video has since emerged on Twitter showing Maatsen's reaction to Burnley's bid. You can watch the footage below.

Sitting on the sofa watching Sky Sports News, Maatsen was filmed precisely as news of Burnley's offer broke, with the defender promptly responding: "I'm still here, up the Blues!"

Academy graduates Maatsen, Conor Gallagher and Trevoh Chalobah were all heavily rumoured with moves away from west London, but no interested party was able to reach an agreement in time, with the trio set to remain with the squad.

Gallagher was the subject of interest from Tottenham, while Nottingham Forest submitted a bid for Chalobah, with Bayern Munich attempting to sign the 24-year-old on loan.

Maatsen, meanwhile, was watching the drama unfold from his sofa as he snubbed the chance of a reunion with Vincent Kompoany at Turf Moor, following on from an excellent loan-spell with the Clarets last season.

Maatsen has been used as a substitute in two of their three Premier League matches so far this season, and played all 90 minutes of Chelsea's 2-1 EFL Cup win over AFC Wimbledon on Wednesday night.

Ben Chilwell is currently Pochettino's first-choice in that position, but Maatsen will be hoping to push the England international all the way amid competition from Marc Cucurella.
