Confirmed: Portsmouth win the race for the signature of Chelsea midfielder Anjorin

Through a statement on their official website, Portsmouth have announced the signing of Chelsea midfielder of Nigeria descent Faustino Anjorin on a season-long loan deal.

​The English League One side beat several interested clubs across Europe to the signing of the talented midfielder.
​
​
Anjorin joins Kepa Arrizabalaga, Romelu Lukaku, Ângelo, Hakim Ziyech, Lewis Hall, David Dantro Fofana, Gabriel Solinina and Andrey Santos in leaving Stamford Bridge on a temporary basis this summer.
​
​
Having struggled to break into the first team, the former England youth international has been on three loan spells before his move to Portsmouth.
​
​
He spent his first loan spell with Russian side Lokomotiv Moscow but didn't get enough minutes due to injuries and was able to register 9 appearances.
​
​
The Cobham product has had two different loan spells at Huddersfield, where he recorded 17 appearances, registering four goal contributions.
​
​
Anjorin's growth has been hindered by injuries and will have to stay injury-free to get enough minutes in his loan spell with Portsmouth.
