McEachran sees wages soar with new Chelsea contract

Josh McEachran's new deal has seen his wages soar at Chelsea.

The Daily Express says McEachran, 18, rated one of the country's brightest young stars, had caught the eye of Arsenal, both Manchester clubs and Hamburg, whose sporting director is former Chelsea and Spurs man Frank Arnesen.

His five-year deal has taken his salary from £6,000 to about £30,000 a week. "It is good to be offered this sort of contract," said McEachran.

"It is what I wished for when I was a kid and hopefully I will spend my career at Chelsea.

"This season my target is just to play more minutes. Hopefully I will play more games and keep improving."
