Swansea are edging closer to deal to sign Chelsea midfielder Josh McEachran on loan for the rest of the season.

McEachran has impressed in his second full season with the Blues' and could benefit from regular first-team football at the South Wales outfit.

The 18-year-old could benefit as Arsenal's Jack Wilshere Chelsea team-mate Daniel Sturridge did from time they spent on-loan at Bolton Wanderers.

Opportunities will be limited for McEachran following Chelsea's exit from the Carling Cup last month - during which he damaged his ankle - but could gain valuable experience on a sabbatical under Brendan Rodgers, according to reports in the Daily Express.

Chelsea boss Andre Villas-Boas planning a shake-up of his squad in January and has also identified Jack Rodwell as the first major brick in rebuilding his Chelsea team and is confident he will land the Everton midfielder next month.

The Chelsea manager needs to add youth as well as quality to his ageing side and, Sportsmail understands, he sees the 20-year-old England international as a key part of the process.

Bolton’s Gary Cahill is another player on his shopping list and someone who would certainly be a useful addition to the Chelsea squad given the defensive problems they have endured this season.

That is true....but does not change the fact that AVB made the mistake of promising him first team minutes when he can't deliver.

Yes, that's true. But at least the mistake isn't too much of a hindrance, because he's still young and raw. He has a lot of time left.

Not sure about that.

I disagree. Josh is very likely a top 10 talent in Europe, in England he has to be a top 3 talent imo. It's a tough time for him now but I'm not sure if anyone would want him to play or even to start a game if Carlo would not have played him last season. He's still very young, he has great potential but keep in mind: We have to be careful. We need to stop all that hype and pressure that he's surrounded by. I'd also like to see him playing more but that's the coach's decision. I do believe that Andre would have used him more this season so far if we would not have been going through that bad streak. Hopefully he'll be loaned out so he can gain some experience.

“It's fair to say we have to look at some proposals for Josh's loan,” Villas-Boas continued.

“His playing time has not been much, but, because of his talent, it’s not 100 per cent sure that we’d send him out on loan, even if clubs come in for him.”

He acknowledges his talent so that's a good sign I guess!
