Maatsen, who has been on the Blues' books since his teens, impressed on loan at Turf Moor last season as Vincent Kompany's side won promotion back to the Premier League. The Clarets had an offer accepted, with a £31.5m deal in mind, but the Dutchman said no. Mauricio Pochettino has welcomed Maatsen into the senior side this season, handing the 21-year-old his Premier League debut in the 1-1 draw with Liverpool in August. While Burnley were clearly keen on the Dutch under-21 star, his own preference has been made clear. In a video shared on social media, Maatsen can be seen confirming his plans. "I'm still here, up the Blues!" he says, after the video begins with Sky Sports News footage. Burnley did get some late business done, though, with Han-Noah Massengo joining from Bristol City and Logan Pye arriving from Manchester United. FA Youth Cup winner Pye will link up with the Clarets' under-21 squad to begin with. Chelsea had some ins and outs of their own on deadline day. Cole Palmer completed a £42.5m move from Manchester City and Callum Hudson-Odoi joined Nottingham Forest for £5m, while others left on loan. Mason Burstow, Bashir Humphreys and Diego Moreira have all made matchday squads this term, with Pochettino calling on the academy talents early on. Burstow and Humphreys will spend the season in the Championship, at Sunderland and Swansea respectively, while Moreira will get a taste of Ligue 1 with Lyon. It marks the end of a busy summer, where Chelsea also recouped more than £200m after offloading Kai Havertz, Mason Mount, Edouard Mendy and more. There is still time for further movement if clubs from the Saudi Pro League attempt to get more business done before their deadline lands on September 7. "W){kind=link}
