Chelsea have confirmed the exit of Tino Anjorin to Russian Premier League side Lokomotiv Moscow on loan.
Anjorin has been unable to break into Thomas Tuchel’s squad.
However, in a bid to get more first-team action, the Nigerian prospect will represent the Steam Locomotive for the 2021-22 campaign.
“Tino Anjorin, the 19-year-old attacking midfielder who made three men’s first-team appearances last season, is embarking on his first loan, with Lokomotiv Moscow his destination,” a statement from the Blues website read.
“An Academy product, who played a starring role in a PL2 title-winning season and has represented England up to U19 level, Anjorin made his senior Chelsea debut during the 2019/20 season in a big Carabao Cup win over Grimsby.
“That was followed up with his first Premier League appearance later that campaign, as a substitute against Everton in the final game before the pandemic.
“He was rewarded that summer with a five-year contract and played a part in last season’s Champions League success, starting a group stage game against another Russian side, Krasnodar, as well as playing two games in the FA Cup run to the final. He became a regular in Thomas Tuchel’s squad.”
