Oxford United has confirmed the acquisition of 20-year-old midfielder Alex Matos on loan from Chelsea for the remainder of the season. Matos, who has previously played in both the Premier League and Championship, made his debut with Chelsea last season. He concluded the season on loan at Huddersfield Town, where he made 19 league appearances. Born in 2004, Matos was unable to secure a position under Chelsea coach Enzo Maresca this year, prompting his loan move to Oxford United, a team competing in the Championship, the second tier of English football.
