Danilo Pantic has confirmed he signed for Chelsea from Serbian outfit Partizan Belgrade.

Pantic has been watched closely by Blues scouts in the last few months, and reports earlier this week suggested he might be about to move to Stamford Bridge.

The 18-year-old has since confirmed the switch has happened, with the midfielder set to join Dutch side Vitesse Arnhem on-loan for the rest of the season.

‘As an 18-year-old it’s hard to get a chance at Chelsea straight away,’ he said about the move.


‘I already know a lot about Vitesse. It’s a big club where many young players play and games will be played offensively.



‘If I play well at Vitesse, then I will go back to Chelsea.’

Chelsea are paying £1.25million for the player.
