Brentford have signed Chelsea midfielder John Swift on a month-long loan deal.

The 20-year-old England youth international will be available for the injury-hit Bees in Saturday's Championship trip to Derby.

Griffin Park boss Lee Carsley told the club website: "John played against us for Chelsea's development squad in August and was very good.

"He has lots of energy and can play in various positions. He likes to shoot, which is something that we want in the team.

"John is a really exciting player and it is great that Chelsea feel this is the right environment for him to develop."
