Focus on Youth #2 Josh McEachran

One of the stand out stars from a torrid pre-season was the emergence of Josh McEachran to the Chelsea senior side during the pre-season friendly.

Josh McEachran is a 17 year old midfielder who has been at the club for four years and has made 4 first team appearances during the pre-season calendar.

Appearing in first and reserve team fixtures during this period, his level head and skill have gained him the attention of Chelsea fans for the first time.

Having won the FA Youth Cup last season and being part of England’s u17 European Championship winning side, he has achieved great success in his formative years having already travelled with the first team prior to his mini breakthrough in pre-season.

Whilst there is much maturing to be done, it is clear he has the potential to be a star and for this reason he is the focus of our 2nd focus on youth.
