The 18-year contract, whose contract expires in 2020, has been limited to 19 minutes of senior activity since the close of the transfer, and is still waiting for its first start in the Premier League.

"As soon as there is an opportunity, he plays. Sometimes from the beginning. Sometimes he comes.

Chelsea recovered from last weekend's 6-0 win over Manchester City by securing a 2-1 win in the Europa League at Malmo on Thursday night.
However, the position of Maurizio Sarri as head coach remains uncertain, the Blues in front of a series of crucial meetings.
Monday's draw against Manchester United with the FA Cup is followed by Thursday's first leg tie with the first leg of the Europa League with Malmo and the final of the 24 February Carabao Cup with City of Pep Guardiola.
Defender David Luiz insisted that there was no dissenting voice in the Chelsea squad, despite troubling results that overshadowed the top four of the best players.
"We have already had a lot of meetings to ask if someone does not believe," said Luiz. "Nobody said anything. It's because everyone believes it.
The Brazilian added, "We lost to maybe the best team in the world in Manchester City. They were better than us from beginning to end.
"We lost a few games because that's part of the process. The teams at the top of the table are now those with managers who have been there for over three years.
"When we understand everything, there is a big difference: it is much easier to play football. I think we are on the right track to continue to improve to become a fantastic team. "
