Sawyer, 19, has been on loan with at the League One club from Chelsea for three months, but will return to Stamford Bridge after Saturday's clash with Tranmere Rovers.

"I'm looking to come back in January. I will see what my options are then take it from there," Sawyer told the club's official website.

"Moving to Southend permanently has been discussed a little bit, but we will have to see what happens between now and January and then when January actually comes as well."
