Confirmed: Ex-Chelsea Midfielder To Become Free Agent THIS Summer

Brentford midfielder Josh McEachran will leave the London club at the end of this season.

This was announced by the English Championship club with the likes of Yoann Barbet, Jack Bonham, Moses Odubanjo and Lewis MacLeod also expected to leave the club this summer.

Former Chelsea youngster McEachran burst onto the scene at Stamford Bridge at the tender age of 16 but he was unable to build on that success.

In the end, Josh McEachran failed to make the grades at Chelsea despite numerous loam spells to clubs like Swansea City and Vitesse Arnhem.

The 26-year-old spent five different loan spells away from Chelsea before leaving the club permanently in 2015.

Apart from Welsh side Swansea City and Vitesse Arnhem, the Chelsea Academy graduate also spent loan spells at Wigan Athletic, Watford and Middlesbrough.

He moved to fellow London club Brentford on a permanent deal in 2015 and went on to score just once in 90 league appearances for the English Championship side.

Josh McEachran was a regular in the Brentford team under Dean Smith before the highly rated manager left to take the Aston Villa job earlier this season.

The player has not been involved in the Brentford team in recent weeks under new manager Thomas Frank.
