McEachran joins Watford on loan

The 20-year-old has moved to Vicarage Road until January after finding first-team opportunities limited at Chelsea, but will not be available for Saturday's game against Barnsley

Watford have signed Josh McEachran from Chelsea on a short-term loan deal.

The 20-year-old, who had loan spells with Swansea City and Middlesbrough earlier in his career, moves to Vicarage Road until January as Gianfranco Zola looks to lead Watford to promotion to the Premier League.

He will now gain more first-team experience after joining a Watford side that has performed well in the early stages of the campaign, losing just one of their first seven encounters.
