Bees Close In On Chelsea Midfielder

Brentford have almost completed the signing of Blues midfielder Josh McEachran on a 4 year deal.

The 22 year old had a medical on Friday and then will complete the move in the next couple of days. Head Coach, Marinus Dijkhuizen will be very familiar with the player after his time at Vitesse last year.

McEachran was a very hot prospect just a few years ago at Chelsea. Many people expected him to break into the first team after he played a key role in England winning the European Championships.

He is a versatile midfielder who controls the game and can play in an attacking role or in a more defensive one. He has spent much of the last few years on loan around the place. He has played at Swansea, Boro, Watford and Wigan.

After signing Bjelland, the capture of McEachran is a real sign of us getting ready for the Premier League.
