Young Chelsea defender-cum-midfielder Nathaniel Chalobah has joined Championship side Nottingham Forest on loan until January, Sky Sports reports.

The highly rated 18-year-old caught the eye last season with a series of sizzling displays that helped fellow Championship side Watford climb the table in their own push for promotion to the top flight.

And he has now returned to the second tier in order to help Forest with their charge up the table and to help foster his own ambitions of having a second successful season on the bounce.

He is still someway down the pecking order at Stamford Bridge, and has yet to make a competitive appearance for the club following Jose Mourinho’s extensive recruitment policy over the summer.

However, not content with just playing in development matches, Chalobah has sought to go and learn his trade lower down the divisions to ensure he gains some valuable first team experience as well as keeping his spot in the England under-21 side.

His managed to bag himself five goals for Watford last season and he will be looking to make a similar contribution again this term, as well as giving Mourinho a reason to believe that he is set for a big future on the Premier League stage.
