Chelsea End of Season Award winners for 2024/25 revealed!
From the official Chelsea FC website:
Chelsea supporters and players from our Men’s, Women’s and Academy sides have come together at London’s famous Grosvenor House this evening for our End of Season Awards.
The ceremony was held shortly after our Women’s team beat Tottenham Hotspur in the WSL and the Men’s team were victorious over Liverpool at Stamford Bridge in the Premier League, with seven awards handed out throughout the evening.
They included our Men’s Player of the Season, Women’s Player of the Season, the Players’ Player of the Season honours for both sides and awards for those in our Academy.
You can see the full list of award winners below.
PFA Community Champions – Millie Bright and Marcus Bettinelli
The PFA Community Champion award highlights the contribution of players on our Men’s and Women’s teams who have gone above and beyond in their work with the Chelsea Foundation.
‘It’s about being a genuine person and caring about the community,’ said Bright. ‘Giving back is a massive part of my values and being a Chelsea player as well.’
Women’s Academy Player of the Season – Lola Brown
Lola Brown is the Chelsea Women’s Academy Player of the Year having broken into the first team squad this season and made her debut for the senior team.
The midfielder signed a three-year professional contract shortly after turning 17. Two days later she made her first senior appearance as a late sub in a big home win over Celtic in the Champions League.
Brown made one further appearance, also in Europe against Twente, and has gained valuable experience by regularly training with the first team.
Well done, Lola!
Men’s Academy Player of the Season – Tyrique George
Tyrique George was named Men’s Academy Player of the Year following a fantastic breakout campaign at Stamford Bridge.
In total, George has played 22 times for our senior team so far this term, with Maresca deploying the youngster on either flank and as the central striker. He has impressed with his direct running and confidence in possession.
George, who only turned 19 in February, has established himself as a valuable member of Maresca’s squad. He has featured in all 11 of our UEFA Conference League fixtures to date, starting seven times. He notched his first senior goal in the win away to Legia Warsaw, and followed that up later in April with his debut Premier League strike, the well-taken equaliser at Fulham that kickstarted a vital comeback.
Congratulations, Tyrique!
Women’s Players’ Player of the Season – Nathalie Bjorn
The Blues Women’s team chose Nathalie Bjorn as their Players’ Player of the Year.
The Swede has been a rock in the heart of our defence, forging a formidable partnership with Millie Bright. In her first full season as a Blue, Bjorn has grown in stature and confidence, and become a real leader in our backline.
She has delivered countless blocks and tackles to help preserve clean sheets, and shown her technical quality by starting attacks with pinpoint passes out from the back. The 27-year-old also started the comeback of the season in the second leg of our Champions League quarter-final against Manchester City with a fine header.
Well done, Nathalie!
Men’s Players’ Player of the Season – Moises Caicedo
Voted for by the Chelsea players, Moises’ team-mates have recognised his invaluable contribution to the side this season.
Caicedo leads the way for us in terms of successful tackles and interceptions, and ranks in the top ten of the Premier League for both. He has chipped in with a goal and three assists, too, earning us a point away to Manchester United with a superb volley.
Caicedo’s reliability and all-action midfield play has been a key factor in our season and he has skippered the side on occasion, too, further demonstrating his leadership qualities.
Congratulations, Moises!
Women’s Player of the Season – Erin Cuthbert
The prize has gone to Erin Cuthbert for the second time in her illustrious Chelsea career.
The Scot has been an integral presence in Sonia Bompastor’s midfield, showcasing her customary consistency in a season in which she brought up the landmark of 250 Blues appearances. Cuthbert marked the occasion by scoring against West Ham.
The 26-year-old also delivered a crucial moment in the title race in late March. It was a goal that summed Cuthbert up. She put her head in where it hurts to dramatically win our WSL game at Man City, and help us take a big step towards our sixth straight league crown.
Cuthbert received her trophy from Bompastor, who did not look surprised Blues fans had voted her midfielder as their outstanding performer this season.
Congratulations, Erin!
Men’s Player of the Season – Moises Caicedo
Caicedo was also voted the Chelsea Player of the Year by Blues supporters after a wonderful second season at Stamford Bridge.
The Ecuadorian has fulfilled a vital role in Enzo Maresca’s midfield, and proven equally adept when deployed at right-back and asked to advance from that role. Caicedo has started every Premier League game for us so far, and regularly had the Stamford Bridge faithful roaring in appreciation after a well-timed challenge.
Moises joins the likes of Eden Hazard, Thiago Silva and his team-mate Cole Palmer as Chelsea players who have won both the Players’ Player and Player of the Year award in the same season.
Well done, Moi!
