From Beever-Jones to Thompson: Analyzing Chelsea Women’s youngsters on loan

The U19 English international, Beever-Jones put together a sensational campaign last time out with Bristol City in the Championship, but this season, one of the Blues’ most promising forwards heads to Everton to help guide the Toffees to a bounce-back season. At just 18 years old last season, Beever-Jones tied for the lead for most appearances for the Robins, netting five goals to go along with two assists. This past weekend, she started as the lone No. 9 for Everton in a 1-0 to West Ham United, but if Blues fans want a team to watch that is not Chelsea, keep an eye on the Toffees because the aforementioned player has a chance to become special in the final third. She is one of the most crafty players with the ball at her feet, always finding an opening even if the entire stadium thinks the play is dead.

On the Championship side of things, academy graduate Emma Thompson has a massive opportunity ahead of her. Thompson heads to Lewes FC for her first career loan, after netting a remarkable 15 goals in 17 games in all competitions for the Blues at the academy level. So far in the second-tier, every club has played at least three games, with Lewes drawing each of them. The 18-year-old is the youngest player on the team to have played over 100 minutes so far, and has led the line for the Rocks in every contest so far during this new campaign.
