Chelsea teenager makes loan switch to Chesterfield
Chelsea teenager Kiano Dyer has completed a busy end to the summer transfer window for Chesterfield.
The 19-year-old midfielder has joined on a season-long loan, becoming the club’s third signing of the week alongside Joel Randall from Bolton Wanderers and Louie Marsh from Sheffield United.
Born in Sutton Coldfield, Dyer started his career at West Brom before joining Chelsea five years ago.
An England youth international, he has trained with the first team squad at Stamford Bridge and made his debut as a sub in a UEFA Conference League tie against Astana in Kazakhstan a couple of years ago.
Dyer spent last season on loan with FC Volendam in Holland, making three appearances.
He is the son of former pro Lloyd Dyer.
Dyer jnr describes himself as “a creative midfielder with high energy in and out of possession” who likes to tackle as well and to land on second balls.
He also aims to bring the qualities to League Two that he has picked up in a stellar environment at Chelsea.
"Everyone is trying to be the best and it only makes you better, working with winning mentality players,” he said. "It has only been good for me and my career.
"For me now it is about experience and trying to win games and to get better and better.”
Dyer and Randall add yet more options in midfield for Chesterfield chief Paul Cook.
Both are expected to be available for Saturday’s home test against Barnet in League Two.
