Pantic said: “I am very happy to sign for Chelsea, the champions of the English Premier League, and I hope I can show my value at Vitesse in the coming season. I am honoured at the faith both clubs have shown in me.”
Pantic becomes the 4th Chelsea player to join Vitesse in a loan deal, following Lewis Baker, Izzy Brown and Brazilian Nathan.
The player will have to make a serious mark in Eredivisie if he has to break into a team with likes of Cesc Fabregas, Nemanja Matić, Oscar and Ramires anytime soon.
