Dujon Sterling has played with Chelsea during pre-season

Championship side Wigan Athletic have signed Chelsea wing-back Dujon Sterling on a season-long loan.

The 19-year-old spent last season on loan with Coventry City, where he made 40 appearances for the Sky Blues.

Sterling was part of the England Under-19 side that won the European Championships in 2017.

"Obviously I saw what Reece James did here last season, so I think Wigan is the right place for me to come and show off my qualities," he said.

"The big stadiums and big crowds, they're things I like about the Championship. It's a great opportunity for me to express myself."

Sterling has won the FA Youth Cup with Chelsea, as well as Uefa Youth League on two occasions.
