Scott Sinclair says Chelsea midfielder Josh McEachran must earn his place at Swansea City.

Sinclair, who played alongside McEachran at Stamford Bridge, admits the competition for places is fierce at the Welsh club.

Sinclair told the Daily Star: "I know Josh well from Chelsea and he's a great player who will come in and boost the squad.

"But the squad is getting bigger and bigger and it will be difficult for him to go straight into the team, especially after our last game against Arsenal.

"Every shirt in the starting line-up is up for grabs. Training is hard and physical every day, so the gaffer is bringing in new players to strengthen the squad."
