Done deal: Chelsea midfielder leaves club after 14 years

Josh McEachran has left Chelsea after 14 seasons to sign for Championship side Brentford, the latter have confirmed on their official Twitter account. The 22 year-old was once tipped as one of the brightest young talents in England, but has faded away dramatically after failing to impress at Stamford Bridge. He has signed a four year-contract with the The Bees.

Some might say he never got the chance to prove his worth, as he only made 22 appearances in all competitions for the Blues in 5 seasons since breaking into the senior side.
