Danilo Pantic
Chelsea
signed Partizan Belgrade midfielder Danilo Pantic on Thursday and
immediately sent the highly-rated Serbian teenager out on loan, the
Premier League champions confirmed.
AFP reports that Pantic was
originally linked with Chelsea in January and the 18-year-old’s move to
Stamford Bridge has now been completed.
He will spend the coming season on loan at Dutch club Vitesse Arnhem, who have a partnership deal with Chelsea.
“I am very happy to sign for Chelsea,
the champions of the English Premier League, and I hope I can show my
value at Vitesse in the coming season. I am honoured at the faith both
clubs have shown in me,” Pantic told Chelsea’s website.
Pantic caught the eye of Chelsea manager
Jose Mourinho with his impressive displays for Partizan in the Europa
League last season and also helped Serbia to the semi-finals of the
European Under-19 Championships last year.
