Brentford midfielder Josh McEachran believes Ruben Loftus-Cheek can make it at Chelsea.

McEachran signed permanently for Brentford last week from Chelsea.

He told the Daily Mail: "The last player to come through was John Terry but a few have been getting a sniff like Ruben and there are a few that have gone on the pre-season tour this season.

"But it is a lot harder than it was a few years ago with all the money involved and stuff but if you are good enough you will have to play.

"You just need the manager to trust you and rely on you. But the youngsters coming through at the moment definitely have a chance.

"The advice I would give is you haven't done anything until you're at JT's level. With all the trophies, caps for England so if you are a 17 year-old lad going on pre-season you haven't really done anything. You just need to strive to what the others are doing."
