A recent social media post shared by Chelsea featured England defender Millie Bright, calling Guro Reiten her “underrated” item of choice.
The comment was a testament to the respect Leiten’s teammates have for her, but also a feeling that the wider audience may not be giving her credit as much credit as it should be.
Since signing in 2019, Leiten’s stock has risen within the Chelsea squad and the wider women’s football environment.
She has been arguably one of Chelsea’s most important players over the past two seasons, and her unerring consistency in attack has been crucial when the team has lost its scoring threat through injury. That includes talismanic striker Sam Kerr.
Anyone who watches Chelsea regularly knows the impact Leiten has on the pitch. They also know that momentum shows no signs of slowing down.
Reiten will continue to prove an important asset as Chelsea look to continue their near-perfect start under manager Sonia Bompastre.
