McEachran, 15, picks up women's player of month prize

The Scottish women’s football player of the month is 15-year-old schoolgirl Chelsea McEachran.

The midfielder picked up the February-March award after being a stand-out for Central Girls in the Premier League 2.

More than a third of just under 1000 voters picked McEachran ahead of Motherwell’s Suzanne Mulvey, Nina Fitzsimmons of Hamilton Academical and Hibernian forward Katey Turner.

“To have won this award is a huge honour,” said McEachran.

“As a player you beat yourself up a lot and you don’t know if you’re doing well enough. So for others to show recognition is good.”

Central Girls play in the second tier of Scottish women’s football, where they have enjoyed a 3-1 win away to St Johnstone, with only narrow defeats to the top two of Kilmarnock and Motherwell.

However, McEachran says she is not fazed by playing at such a high level.

“This is a very competitive league and we knew we’d have to battle for every point,” she said.

“It’s pushed me a lot and I feel it’s made me a better player. The women are a lot stronger than if I was playing against players my age.

“Because Central Girls are such a young team we just want to stay in the league we are now at least for another year, and then hopefully push on.”

Limiting Opportunities

Abramovich obviously wants the academy to succeed, but where is it all going wrong? 

Chelsea’s academy sides have been dominating the youth competitions but no players have progressed to the first team.

The details of McEachran’s lucrative deal, a reported £38k a week that was offered to ward off interest from Real Madrid, make you wonder whether our best players think they’ve already made it before they make a first team appearance.

The reality is probably a little more obvious. We have an amazing academy and some really good players passing through it. The thing is, to get into this Chelsea squad, you have to be truly world class. If regular internationals, like De Bruyne, Salah and Lukaku struggle to establish themselves, what chance do these talented young kids have?

McEachran till Liverpool?

Brendan Rodgers har haft ögonen på Chelseas tekniker Josh McEachran i flera år och nu verkar det som att han kanske vill lägga ett bud på honom i januarifönstret. Vi får se hur det går, men det skulle vara en intressant värvning för mittfältet.
