OFFICIAL: Chelsea Youngster Loaned out to Champions League opponents Ajax

Chelsea youth player Juan Castillo will spend the 2019/20 season on loan at Ajax, the Blues’ official website has confirmed.

The 19-year-old Dutchman returns to his boyhood club that he left for the West London side in 2016.

The last term, he played 33 games across all competitions for the U19 side, scored 3 goals and provided 10 assists.

However, the left-back was close to leaving Chelsea permanently this summer, as his contract was expiring.

However, he has since changed his mind and signed a new three-year deal.

Of course, it’s worth noting that Castillo is joining the club that will oppose Chelsea in the Champions League group stage.

The two games will take place on 23 October and 5 November. It’s not clear whether Juan will be allowed to face his parent club.
