Excelsior Rotterdam have swooped for Chelsea midfielder Danilo Pantic.

The attacking midfielder is set to sign for Excelsior today on a season-long loan.

Pantic, 19, spent last season on-loan with Vitesse Arnhem, where he battled for minutes.

Excelsior are convinced of his quality and have moved quickly to close a deal for the Serb.

They hope to have Pantic registered in time for their opening home game of the season against FC Groningen.
