Chelsea defender Dylan Williams has agreed to join League One Burton Albion on a season-long loan deal.

The 20-year-old has already completed his medical and, once the transfer goes through, will effectively leave Chelsea permanently as there is an obligation-to-buy clause included.

Williams joined Chelsea after making nine appearances at Derby County in the Championship but did not play for the first team at Stamford Bridge despite being named on the bench on multiple occasions.

The move will see him link up with former Chelsea Under-21s manager Mark Robinson amid major changes under Burton's new owners, Nordic Football Group.

Robinson has also signed midfielder Charlie Webster from the Blues.
