Pilgrims land Chelsea starlet

Plymouth Argyle have beefed up their attack after landing Chelsea's Scott Sinclair.

Plymouth Argyle have beefed up their attack for the next month after landing Chelsea's Scott Sinclair on loan.

The teenager is regarded as one for the future at Stamford Bridge, but has just one substitute League Cup appearance to his name.

Chelsea have allowed the Bath-born striker to join Plymouth to garner experience and Pilgrims boss Ian Holloway (pictured) is delighted to have him at Home Park.

Holloway has known the youngster for some time and believes his pace and versatility will make him a valuable addition to his Championship squad.

"He can play numerous positions," Holloway told the club's official website. "He's quick as lightning.

"He's someone I knew and trained when he was ten years old. We've been monitoring his career for the last seven or eight years.

"I feel, with what we've got in the squad, he will offer us fantastic cover. He's a great lad and gives me more options."
