Rising Chelsea and Lionesses star Aggie Beever-Jones reveals how outgoing boss Emma Hayes helped her shine in 'pressure situations'

Beever-Jones enjoyed a rich vein of form in the 2023/24 campaign and played a crucial role in Chelsea winning the Women's Super League for a record-extending seventh time. The striker scored 11 goals in 17 appearances and provided two assists.

After a successful season with the Blues, the 20-year-old credited her former boss Hayes for her success and revealed how the legendary manager motivated her to perform under pressure situations.

Speaking at a press conference, the forward said, "I think I always knew what I was capable of and so it was just about being able to show it in high-pressure situations and I think that’s where I owe a lot of my success to Emma (Hayes). What she’s done for the women’s game speaks for itself and I remember once she said that for some people the weight of the [Chelsea] badge is too heavy.

"I remember listening to that and I thought I want to be able to show what I can do in high-pressure situations. I credit a lot of my success to the whole of Chelsea, bring me up as a young kid and help me develop."

The young attacker will be next seen in action for the Lionesses as Sarina Wiegman's side take on France in back-to-back Euro 2025 qualifying matches.
