Chelsea youngster Josh McEachran insists he is ready to represent the first-team. The 17-year-old midfielder has featured in a number of Chelsea matches in recent weeks, coming off the bench on three occasions.
The young left sider was being tipped as a future England international before he even made his Chelsea debut, and he insists he is confident he can step up to the task of first-team football.
"I am quite a quiet boy but on the pitch I think I am quite confident and know what I am doing," he said.
"I don't have a fear of rushing him because his character is good, he is focused.
"He has balance. He is not afraid or quiet. And for this reason I can say he can play."
