From the source

Former Chelsea defender and now popular pundit Jason Cundy has named the Blues’ player of the season so far. Despite some disappointing results, including an unfortunate penalty shootout defeat in the EFL Cup, Xabi Alonso’s side have made a solid start.

The Blues are fourth in the Premier League table with 15 points from nine games after beating Manchester United last weekend. £117 million summer signing Morgan Rogers has been a revelation in attack, but Cundy believes another player has been even more impressive in 2026/27.

Jason Cundy has named 20-year-old defender Josh Acheampong Chelsea’s best player so far in the 2026/27 season. The academy graduate has started six of the Blues’ nine league games and all three EFL Cup matches.
