Swansea City boss Brendan Rodgers is excited by the prospect of signing Chelsea midfielder Josh McEachran on-loan.

It looks as though the Swans are close to seeing off reported interest from the likes of Aston Villa to bring in the England Under-21 international.

Rodgers told talkSPORT: "Hopefully, we can get that agreement confirmed in the next 24-48 hours. We've obviously made an enquiry.

"Josh is a boy I know well so we'll see if we can organise the move over the next few days.

"He'll be brilliant for the Swansea supporters and they'll get to witness one of the best talents this country's got.

"He's a player who sees passes from the sky. He's an incredible passer of the ball and I know the England set-up have very high hopes for him as well.

"He's a kid who can create chances and has wonderful vision on the ball - he fits perfectly into our team.

"I've got a really talented group of players at this level and he'll come into the squad and add to that for the second part of the season."
