Ian Maatsen has felt the wrath of Chelsea fans after making a howler on social media, with Blues fans stating his career is done at Stamford Bridge.

The left-back, who is known to be a long term target of West Ham and one we could well look to approach as we look to replace Aaron Cresswell in the long-term, made the comment on Instagram following Chelsea’s defeat to Manchester United.

As reported by the Daily Mail, Maatsen decided to comment on a post made by Sofyan Amrabat of the Red Devils, who posted:

Great spirit and great performance! Thanks for the amazing support

Maatsen, of course a Chelsea player and on the receiving end of the loss to Manchester United, then responded with a ‘fire emoji’ and a ‘saluting emoji’.

Despite it being deleted soon after, Chelsea fans have erupted furiously over the incident – with many stating that his time in west London is now up.

‘Safe to say Ian Maatsen’s career at Chelsea is now over.’

‘Ian Maatsen commenting on a post made by Sofyan Amrabat about United winning yesterday. Absolute joke’

‘It must be a mistake from Ian Maatsen or his social media team, surely, as I’m hoping players read the room in situations like this and stay away from stuff like this’

The news though could be a boost to West Ham, who could look to reignite interest in Maatsen ahead of the January transfer window, or possibly next summer.
