The young star spent the 2022\/23 season on loan at Turf Moor, where he scored four goals and registered six assists in 42 total appearances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maatsen’s performances earned him a spot in the 2022\/23 Championship Team of the Season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After playing such a vital role in Burnley’s title-winning season, Clarets boss Vincent Kompany was keen to sign Maatsen on a permanent basis this summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the Dutch star is set to stay at Chelsea with Mauricio Pochettino showing early faith in his abilities this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Blues boss has already handed Maatsen three appearances this season, including the entire 90 minutes in their EFL Cup clash against AFC Wimbledon on Wednesday evening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maatsen is playing in a more advanced role with the Londoners after spending the majority of last season at left-back for Burnley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prior to his Burnley loan stint, Maatsen has also enjoyed successful spells away at Charlton Athletic and Coventry City in recent seasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
