Josh McEachran will end his Chelsea nightmare and sign for west London neighbours Brentford this week in a four-year deal.
The 22-year-old was earmarked as the next great hope for Chelsea - the one player who could emulate John Terry and emerge from the youth ranks and become a first team regular.
A star of the youth team, he was given his debut by Carlo Ancelotti against MŠK Žilina on 15 September 2010 as a substitute.
He made his home debut in a League Cup tie against Newcastle United and his Premier League bow in a 1–0 defeat to Manchester City.
However he failed to capitalise on that promise and was not helped by playing in a deep midfield role.
A succession of loan moves have marked his career, Swansea City, Middlesborough, Watford, Wigan Athletic and abroad last term to Holland to play for Vitesse.
In total, he made 11 appearances for Chelsea in the league, four in the League cup, six in Europe and a single pre-season outing.
