Chelsea midfielder George McEachran has appreciated his loan with SC Cambuur.

The 19-year-old joined Dutch second-tier side SC Cambuur on loan at the end of January.

"The reason I wanted to go on loan was to get some experience in the environment of first team football," McEachran told chelseafc.com.

"The first time I heard about going out on loan was in the first week of January. My agent rang me and said this team in the second division are interested in you. I was very excited to start my first training session, but it was very different not seeing the same faces I have been with for the past 11 years.

"Training is different. They're bigger, stronger, wiser to the game. The demands in training are massive, the intensity, everyone is willing to get a place in the starting XI so they train how they play, every single day."
