Shim Mheuka has just been nominated for the PL2 player of the year award after scoring 18 goals in 19 games.

In addition, be bagged 5 in 6 games in the UEFA Youth League, and 13 in 10 for England. A quite incredible season, and the only question is what comes next.

Chelsea don’t seem interested in using him in the first team, so we a loan seems most likely. He played 128 minutes for the first team last season, and that fell to 31 minutes this campaign, mainly due to a lack of Conference League action.

Loan lined up for Mheuka – but big decision over where

Simon Johnson’s piece for the Athletic claims that “Mheuka is also being earmarked to go out on loan in 2026-27 in order to gain more regular experience of senior football.

“The subject was raised as a possibility in January, but all parties agreed he would be better off maintaining his goalscoring momentum in the academy.”

Well it certainly worked on that front, as the goal machine kept scoring. But now comes the real test – choosing the perfect loan destination for him to take the step into the senior game.
