Is Beever-Jones making case to be Chelsea and England number nine?

Man Utd vs. Chelsea: A Women’s Super League

Venue: Progress with Unity Stadium Friday, October 3rd, 2019 Kick-off: 19:30 BST

Chelsea, the women’s champion of the Super League, suddenly appeared a little vulnerable when Chelsea, who had suffered yet another injury blow before the start of the season, received another injury blow.

Were Chelsea a little short up front with striker Mayra Ramirez out for the next few months and star forward Sam Kerr still recovering from her long-term injury? Re-thought.

Any doubts have been dispelled by England striker Aggie Beever-Jones, who scored in each of his first four games for Chelsea as the first to do so in the WSL.

Chelsea maintained their two-point lead at the top of the table by winning fourth games with a majestic free kick on Sunday.

With her conduct, her behavior, and the work ethic she has put in, “I don’t think anyone would have chosen her to be the WSL’s top goalscorer before the season started,” England’s all-time best goalscorer Ellen White said to BBC Sport.

Beever-Jones’ form won’t surprise regular Chelsea watchers. Her stats have been incredibly impressive since the start of the previous season.

She has since started playing in the league from 2024 to 2025, scoring 13 goals despite having an expected goals (xG) of 8.57.

Beever-Jones also happened to be the most recent Blues player to score in five consecutive WSL appearances since November 2023, making her the first to do so on Sunday.

Sonia Bompastor, Chelsea manager, has gradually eased up Kerr, who has started the campaign as a substitute in Beever-Jones’ first three matches.

She can score so many different kinds of goals, according to White, which is really impressive.

She scores great headers, scores great goals, is great technically, and is very fit for her free-kick against West Ham.

Fara Williams, a former Chelsea midfielder, claimed Beever-Jones’ development was “phenomenal.”

She continued, “Over the past few seasons, Aggie Beever-Jones has been that bit-part player that has come into the team.”

She’s now getting a run of games now, and it shows the confidence, with the injuries to Ramirez and Sam Kerr just coming back. She wouldn’t have been stepping up to take that free-kick this time last year.

Bompastor is more than aware of Beever-Jones’ goalscoring prowess, having seen her finish last season as Chelsea’s top scorer with 13 goals coming from 22 starts and 13 substitute starts.

But she quickly praised her again on Sunday, describing her as being “great for the team.”

The Frenchwoman will have to make a significant choice when Kerr is ready to start because she doesn’t typically choose two strikers.

Beever-Jones is one of Chelsea’s few academy players in the first-team squad despite breaking their transfer record several times in recent years, most recently with Alyssa Thompson.

She made her professional debut at Chelsea in January 2021, and she made her debut there in January 2021. She left for Bristol City the following year on her 18th birthday.

She went on loan once more to 2022-23, this time at another WSL team, but Chelsea’s then-manager Emma Hayes claimed she had made it back as a first-team player after her return.

She hasn’t had a simple life at Chelsea, she says. That demonstrates her resilience and desire to be the best, White said.

After Euro 2025, there was just one substitute England striker on everyone’s lips, and it wasn’t Beever-Jones, who saw herself fall behind teenager Michelle Agyemang as the go-to danger weapon from the bench.

However, White added that Beever-Jones does not believe she had anything to prove after the Euros and that she prefers to “improve, develop, and learn.”

In the end, I can see that she wants to increase her number nine status with England, which she currently does.

Beever-Jones could get her second chance this month when England play Brazil and Australia in friendlies, having scored three more league goals this year than Agyemang and two more than Alessia Russo.

She will be pushing Alessia Russo and Agyemang, according to White, and if she is scoring the way she is, she will have those opportunities.
