Chelsea Youngster signs on . . .

Last updated : 21 August 2008 By Thurrock Blue
Southend have signed England Under 19 International Lee Sawyer from Chelsea on a three month loan spell. Without knowing too much about him, I'd hope that with the England calibre than Robson-Kanu had last season Sawyer (who has warmed the bench at the Bridge on several occasions) is a worthy stop gap for the departed Ginger sulker.
Sawyer graced Chelsea's reserves 7 times last season and would have played in their FA Youth Cup Final against Man City all for a red card in their Semi Final against Villa.
Further information to follow as soon as I find out more about him
