A recent social media post shared by Chelsea featured England defender Millie Bright, dubbing Guro Reiten her chosen “underated” item.
That statement was testament to the esteem Reiten’s team-mates hold her in — as well as the sentiment that the wider audience may not appreciate her exploits as much as they should.
Since signing in 2019, Reiten’s stock has risen higher within the Chelsea squad and the wider women’s football milieu.
In the past two seasons, she has undoubtedly been one of Chelsea’s most important players, and her unerring consistency in attack has been vital when her team has been deprived of other goalscoring threats through injury — including talismanic striker, Sam Kerr.
Those who watch Chelsea regularly know Reiten’s influence on the pitch. They also know it has shown no signs of stopping.
As Chelsea look to continue their near-flawless start to life under manager Sonia Bompastor, Reiten will continue to prove a crucial asset.
