Vitesse midfielder McEachran retains hope of making it at Chelsea

Vitesse Arnhem midfielder Josh McEachran retains hope of making it at parent club Chelsea.

McEachran has struggled since breaking through at Chelsea as a teenager.

"They were nice things people were writing and saying and I want that back. I just want to get back to that, and I'm working hard to get back to that. There's no reason to think I can't. So many players in the Premier League fulfil their potential at 24 or 25. I'm only 21.

"Even in Holland where teams are very young I'm one of the youngest. People forget, when I first came in, I was 17 and I was at one of the biggest clubs in the world, with all this expectation. That's still my dream, to play for Chelsea," he told the Daily Mail.
