Reserve team left-back Patrick van Aanholt has today joined Championship leaders Newcastle United on loan until February 28. The Dutch Under 21 international spent the first half of the season on loan at Coventry City, making 20 appearances for the Sky Blues. He was also an unused sub for our game at Preston North End last weekend. The 19-year-old is in his third year at Chelsea having arrived from PSV Eindhoven. Tall and fast, he is a technically accomplished defender who immediately established himself in the reserves upon arrival at the club in 2007. Source: Chelseafc
