He made his Chelsea debut, on 24 March 2010, in a 5–0 away win at Portsmouth, when he replaced Yuri Zhirkov at left-back.[2] He then made his home debut, on 27 March 2010, against Aston Villa in a 7–1 victory, again as a sub.[3] He scored his first career goal on 22 September 2010 in the 4–3 defeat to former club Newcastle United in the League Cup.[4] On 6 January 2012, he returned to Chelsea during a season long loan at Wigan Athletic.

Loan to Coventry City

He made his professional debut on loan to Coventry City on 9 August 2009 starting in a 2–1 Football League Championship win over Ipswich Town.[5] He was recalled to Chelsea in December due to the exit of many players due to the African Nations Cup.

Loan to Newcastle United

On 29 January 2010, van Aanholt joined Newcastle United on a one-month loan deal after regular left back José Enrique suffered injury. He had been cover for the Spaniard, sustaining Newcastle's productive left flank with Jonás Gutiérrez. He played his last game in the 2–1 away victory at Watford.

Loan to Leicester City

Van Aanholt scored his first senior league goal in a 4-0 victory over Burnley on 9 April 2011.[9]

Loan to Wigan Athletic

On transfer deadline day August 31, 2011, van Aanholt signed for Wigan Athletic on a season-long loan deal.[10] van Aanholt's loan spell, originally a season-long arrangement, was terminated by mutual consent between all three parties. During this uneventful loan spell, van Aanholt played three league matches and one Carling Cup tie for the Latics but did not feature in their first team after 1 October.[11]

Loan to Vitesse

On 17 January 2012, van Aanholt signed for Dutch club Vitesse on loan until the end of the season. Van Aanholt returned to his home country Netherlands with fellow Chelsea teammates Tomas Kalas and Ulises Davila who joined Vitesse at the start of the season on loan.
