Chelsea's Cole wants Middlesbrough loanee McEachran to show what he can do

Chelsea defender Ashley Cole hopes teammate Josh McEachran can show the football community what he can do in his Middlesbrough debut tonight.

The 19-year old midfielder has joined 'Boro on a season-long loan and is set to make his bow at the Riverside Stadium when Burnley visit in a few hour with Cole wishing him the best as he continues his development away from Stamford Bridge.

"@JMcEachran20 good luck tonight mate hope you enjoy the game, do well and show people your ability," wrote Cole on Twitter.

McEachran had a loan with Swansea City last season and has been bumped even further down the Chelsea pecking order following the summer arrivals of Eden Hazard and Oscar.
