Pantic said that, as part of the deal, he would move out on loan to Vitesse Arnhem for the rest of the season as he did not expect to play a part in the first-team in South London.
“As an 18-year-old it is hard to get a chance at Chelsea and I was immediately excited by the opportunity to play first in the Netherlands. That competition is ideal for young talent and they play attacking football.
“I already know a lot about Vitesse. It’s a big club where many young players play and games will be played offensively.
“If I play well at Vitesse, then I will probably go back to Chelsea.”
