Chelsea’s McEachran in talks with Vitesse over possible loan move

De geruchten worden hardnekkiger. Was woensdag het dubieuze Tribalfootball de bron, vandaag kwam de Dailymail met het nieuws. Chelsea-middenvelder Josh McEachran is in gesprek met de Arnhemmers. Vitesse wilde de komst van de Engelsman vrijdag niet bevestigen of ontkennen.

Chelsea midfielder Josh McEachran is in talks over a loan move to Vitesse Arnhem. The youngster has been in Holland to discuss a season-long switch to the Blues’ feeder club.

After emerging as one of the brightest talents in the country, McEachran is free to leave Stamford Bridge after falling way down the pecking order.

JOSH MCEACHRAN'S CAREER 

2010/11: Makes Chelsea debut, plays 11 times
2011/12: Goes to Swansea on loan, plays 4 times
2012/13: Loaned to Middlesbrough, plays 38 times
2013/14: Loaned to Watford and Wigan, plays 15 times 

McEachran was often mentioned when by Chelsea when they were criticised for not giving enough playing time to younger players coming through the ranks.

But it seems the 21-year-old will have to forge a career elsewhere as he closes in on yet another loan deal. 

Chelsea have close links with Vitesse Arnhem, regularly sending up and coming professionals there on loan to build up there first team experience.

Last season Lucas Piazon, Christian Atsu, Bernard Traore and Patrick van Aanholt were all on loan at Vitesse.
