After starting the season in outstanding form for Chelsea Under-21s, Shumaira Mheuka has been named Premier League 2 Player of the Month for August.
The striker has featured in all three of our Premier League 2 fixtures this season and has been named our Under-21s captain.
Mheuka has made a flying start to the campaign, scoring four goals in just three matches. He lit up our opener against Manchester City with a stunning hat-trick that delivered a bold 3-1 victory over the reigning Premier League 2 champions at Kingsmeadow.
He carried that momentum into the next week, finding the net once again in our emphatic 5-0 win away at Newcastle United.
Another tireless display followed in a hard-fought 2-1 triumph over Aston Villa, where his leadership helped secure yet another victory to keep our winning streak alive.
It has been a dominant start to the season for Mheuka and the Under-21s, with our captain receiving recognition for his early performances.
Congratulations, Shim!
