Brentford signing Josh McEachran: I turned down Real Madrid

Brentford signing Josh McEachran admits he turned down Real Madrid as a teen.

McEachran signed permanently for Brentford last week from Chelsea.

He revealed to the Daily Mail: "I was 15 or 16 at the time and Chelsea offered me a very good contract. But Real showed interest in me and were going to fly my family out to Spain.

"And when Real Madrid want to sign you then it is very tempting.

"But in the end I chose to stay at Chelsea because they were my team and I had been there since such a young age."
