Chelsea defender Matt Miazga joins Nantes on loan

Chelsea defender Matt Miazga has joined French Ligue 1 club Nantes on a season long loan deal with the option for purchase at the end according to a report published by Sky.

The 23-year-old joined the Blues from the New York Red Bulls in 2016 and while he did make two Premier League appearances for the club, he was never included in the first-team plans.

He spent the past two seasons on loan with Vitesse Arnheim.

While the American’s contract at Stamford Bridge is valid till the summer of 2020, he has never been part of the club’s first-team plans and it is unlikely that he will never be.
