Swansea City manager Brendan Rodgers has said that he would like to take Chelsea midfielder Josh McEachran on loan.
Rodgers, who worked as the reserve and youth team coach at Stamford Bridge under Jose Mourinho, believes that the 18-year-old is one of the brightest young talents in the Premier League.
"I need to have a conversation at length [with Chelsea]," he said. "Josh is not playing at the moment, he is on the bench, although he played [against Everton] last night.
"He is a wonderful talent and the positive thing is that clubs see Swansea as a club that can develop such talents.
"I think [Chelsea manager] Andre [Villas-Boas] and [sporting director] Michael Emenalo understand he will need to get some games and when that moment comes he is certainly a player who would do terrific here."
Swansea host Bolton Wanderers in the Premier League on Saturday.
