Club career

Early career

Maatsen joined Feyenoord's academy at the age of seven, but was allegedly dropped for being too small. He moved to Sparta Rotterdam and then PSV Eindhoven, before joining Chelsea in 2018. [10]

Chelsea

On 25 September 2019, he made his debut for the London club as a substitute in a 7–1 EFL Cup victory over Grimsby Town. [11]

Loan to Charlton Athletic

[12] On 20 October, he made his league debut for Charlton, coming off the bench as a second-half substitute in the side's 1–0 win over Blackpool. [13] He scored his first senior goal on 2 April 2021 in a 1–0 away win over Doncaster Rovers. [14]

Loan to Coventry

On 30 July 2021, Maatsen joined Coventry City on loan. [15] On 2 October 2021, he scored his first goal for Coventry in a match against Fulham, helping his team to a 4–1 victory.

[19] Following his impressive performances, Maatsen was named the EFL Championship Player of the Month for January 2023.

[24] Borussia eventually reached the final, where Maatsen started the match and made a misplaced pass that led to Real Madrid's second goal in a 2–0 defeat at Wembley Stadium.

In May 2024, Maatsen was selected in the 30-man preliminary squad for UEFA Euro 2024, [34] but was later omitted from the final squad. [35] However, he was re-called to the Netherlands' Euro 2024 squad on 11 June as a replacement for the injured Frenkie de Jong. [36]
