Chelsea youngster Jordan Houghton has joined Plymouth Argyle on loan until the end of the season.
The 20-year-old midfielder spent the first half of this season on loan at Gillingham but has now joined the League Two promotion chasers for the final months of the season.
And Plymouth boss Derek Adams is elated to have Houghton at the club.
He said: ”Jordan's a central midfield player; right-sided, good on the ball; a good passer. He can score goals; create chances.
"He's 6ft and 20 years of age and looking to move his career on at Chelsea. It gives him the benefit of coming here and trying to get some first-team football.
"He will probably have looked at the likes of Boateng, Threlkeld and Tanner, who are younger players like himself, and have all come in and benefited from that.
"He's played for England at a number of age levels, right up to Under-20. To be in the system at Chelsea from a young age is obviously beneficial to him. This is just the next stage in his progression to try to make the Chelsea first-team one day."
