Chelsea's Tino Anjorin joins Portsmouth on loan

"I think everyone knows that this is something that's been rumbling on for a while. So we're delighted that we've managed to get it over the line and secure Tino's signature - we're excited to see what he's going to bring," said manager John Mousinho.

"We've got a player with Premier League capability, who's excellent on the ball and has real athletic qualities. He can carry it, he can find a pass and he can score a goal - now he has to knit all that together on a consistent basis.

"I think he can be a big threat for us. We're bringing in a real talent and have to ensure we make the most of that. It's a move that we thought was gone after bringing in Alex Robertson, but the injuries to Tom Lowery and Kusini Yengi meant it opened back up again.

"So we're really glad that we've been able to complete the deal and I'm looking forward to working with Tino."
