Chelsea reject January move for Blues starlet

Chelsea will reject loan offers for promising midfielder Tino Anjorin in January, according to The Athletic.

Several clubs from the Premier League and Championship are said to have made approaches for the England under-19 international, but have been told to look elsewhere.

Anjorin, 19, has made just one appearance for the first team this season, against Krasnodar in the Champions Legaue, but has impressed for the Blues’ under-23 side.

Despite Chelsea’s stance on Anjorin, boss Frank Lampard is hoping to trim his squad in the transfer window, with Antonio Rudiger, Marcos Alonso, Emerson Palmieri and Danny Drinkwater all on the chopping block.
