Chelsea youngster Alfie Gilchrist is getting plenty of first-team minutes during his season-long loan in the Championship with Sheffield United.
Alfie Gilchrist, 21, is an exciting young defender to come through the ranks in the Chelsea academy.
He’s played 17 senior games for the Blues after getting a chance under Mauricio Pochettino last season, but the club decided the best path for his development was a spell out on loan in the 2024/25 campaign.
Sheffield United moved to the top of the Championship table with a 1-0 home win over Sunderland on Friday night.
Gilchrist, the Chelsea loanee, completed 90 minutes for the Blades in yesterday’s league victory. He started the game at right-back before moving into a centre-back position.
Local media praised the Blues-owned youngster after his Sheffield United performance.
