OFFICIAL - PVA to Wigan on season-long loan

He will barely play. Leicester have a Swiss international left back in Bruno Berner who is a quality player - he should be playing in the Premiership. Similarly, Patch should be going on loan to a EPL club as well.

Newcastle loved him when he was up there! They'd still welcome him as 1st choice left-back.

Van Aanholt to Leicester

Chelsea Football Club can confirm that we have reached agreement with Leicester City for the loan of Patrick van Aanholt until the end of the season.

The 20-year-old left-back has played eight times for Chelsea, six times this season, and scored his first goal for the club against Newcastle United in the Carling Cup in September.

The Dutch Under 21 international enjoyed two loan spells last season, first with Coventry City where he made 20 appearances in a half-season deal, and a month with Newcastle, for whom he appeared seven times.

Leicester, managed by Sven Goran Eriksson, are currently 11th in the Championship, six points from the play-off places.

Is it just me that thinks that PVA is ridiculously good going forward? Like, better-than-Cole good?

We are blessed with some quality left-backs. Cole, Van Aanholt, Bertrand and Deen-Conteh.

I'm hoping Cole and Bertrand split a lot of time at LB this year and then by next year or year after it'll be Bertrand and Pat. Hell, Pat can back-up Mata in a couple of years.

Martinez done well with Tom Cleverly last season but Sinclair didn't have the best of times at Wigan. Hope Pat impresses :)

Martinez has done well with McCarthy and Moses too, Sinclair was restricted to a super-sub role so it's not the best to judge... especially because it was his last loan and he was fed up with these loans.

Wigan are really great contenders this season, like Wolves so it will be a great experience for Van Aanholt, he won't have many difficulties to put on the bench Maynor Figueroa

I would have hoped for a club/manager who would make him more disciplined defensively. His attacking threat is well known but at the end of the day a defender's primary role is to be sound at the back and it is this aspect of his play that lets him down even at Reserves level.
