Breaking records from an early age, Potter became the youngest player in women’s football history to sign a professional contract when she penned her first deal at Chelsea in 2023 at the age of 17.

After two successful campaigns on loan with Crystal Palace, the midfielder earned her first Blues appearance at the start of last season when she came on as a 72nd-minute substitute in our 4-0 win against Paris FC in October.

By March, she had played her way to a first-team start, which came at home against Brighton & Hove Albion. Bompastor’s faith was rewarded with a goal from Potter in a 2-1 win over the Seagulls. It was a sign of what was to come.

After ten games in all competitions this season, the 20-year-old has featured nine times, scoring once. In the Women’s Super League, she has played 376 minutes - only seven of our players have spent more time on the pitch than Potter.

Of course then, it was no wonder that she was on England head coach Sarina Wiegman’s radar when it was time to make her selections for the October internationals. And sure enough, she became England Women’s legacy number 244 when she was named on the teamsheet against Greece in Leicester.

Shy and humble, Potter says she’s not yet processed making her senior England debut. But if her form is anything to go by, the spotlight on her is not going away anytime soon.

‘No, not yet,’ she says when asked if the night at the King Power Stadium has sunk in. ‘It's been a quick turnaround from the international break to coming back at Chelsea, but it's been a really good few weeks, and definitely a time I'll never forget.

‘It was really special. It's something that you always work towards as a young girl, and I'm very grateful and very proud to have done that.’

If anything were to highlight how Potter has remained grounded, it’s how she describes getting the call from Wiegman.

‘I was just at home, in my room, and I wasn't expecting it at all,’ she explains. ‘So when I got the call, I was really happy and very excited.’

Chelsea supporters have seen Potter’s relationship with Keira Walsh blossom on and off the field at club level. That meant the youngster had a ready-made mentor when she joined the senior England camp earlier this month.

‘There aren't many players better in the number six role than Keira to learn from, and I'm very lucky to get the opportunity to be playing alongside her at the moment,’ Potter continued.

‘There are a lot of things in her game that I can learn from and hopefully add to mine, but as the minutes go by, hopefully the partnership will just continue to get stronger. Hopefully we can go very far.’

On current evidence, it appears that the partnership will continue to go far, as Potter suggests. For both club and country.
