Chelsea have confirmed Thorgan Hazard has joined Borussia Monchengladbach on a season-long loan.
Hazard, the younger brother of Eden, has been sent to the Bundesliga club to aid his development, with first-team opportunities at Chelsea likely to be limited next season.
The Belgium international, 21, signed for the Blues from Lens in 2012 before going out on loan to Zulte Waregem.
