Ian Maatsen has informed Chelsea he wants to stay at Borussia Dortmund on a permanent basis

Ian Maatsen wants to leave Chelsea on a permanent basis and has reportedly already informed the Blues of his decision.

Maatsen returned to Chelsea last summer following a successful loan spell at Burnley, and turned down a permanent move to Turf Moor despite the two clubs agreeing a deal worth £31.5m.

The 22-year-old impressed during pre season but once the season started he found opportunities few and far between with Mauricio Pochettino preferring to play Levi Colwill at left back.
