Chelsea midfielder 'delighted' after completing transfer to London rivals

John Swift delighted to have joined Brentford on a short-term loan deal

CHELSEA midfielder John Swift has opened up on his loan move to Brentford.

The 20-year-old Blues academy product, who trained with the Bees for the first time today, will stay at Griffin Park until October 31.

And the England youth international admits he's looking forward to gaining first-team experience in the Championship and believe Brentford suit his style of play.

He said: "I didn’t think I would be going out on loan but I was told yesterday that Brentford wanted me and I was delighted.

 

John Swift spent time at Rotherham last season

On his favoured position, Swift added: "I play in midfield and I like to get on the ball. I like to get in to the box and get on the end of crosses and I think I can get a few goals.

I am a box-to-box midfield player. I hope I will travel to Derby and I am looking forward to it. 

"We then have the international break. I know Josh from Chelsea and Jack from England, the break will give me a chance to get to know everyone else."
