Clifford is an Ireland Under-21 international

Plymouth Argyle have signed Chelsea midfielder Conor Clifford on a youth loan deal.

The 19-year-old, who will be at Home Park until 19 November, has been included in Argyle's squad for Saturday's match with Huddersfield.

Plymouth boss Peter Reid said: "He [Clifford] can see a pass, and he was very enthusiastic to play here.

"I will decided whether he starts tomorrow [against Huddersfield] but he has a good chance."

Clifford, who is in his third year at Stamford Bridge, captained Chelsea's youth team to victory in the FA Youth Cup last season.
