Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel, has confessed that he stopped impressive Anjorin from a loan spell.

The playmaker was given his first-team debut by ex-boss Frank Lampard last season and has since played four more times.

Tuchel revealed he declined sending him out on loan as he wants Anjorin to develop under his guidance.

He said: “I got to know Tino. I didn’t know much of him. I was very impressed because he’s very physical player.

“Tall guy, strong guy. He has the ability to keep the ball under pressure because he has the body for it.

“He has the physical ability to play and train with us on this level. He had some minutes with Barnsley in the cup game.

“We decided to keep him to get to know him better, not to send him out on loan.

“I’m happy about that. He is very strong in finishing. Very nice character. Nice guy from the academy.

“Very humble. Totally focused. Totally clear when you talk to him. Very self-aware.”
