“Am leaving my comfort zone Chelsea” – Chelsea player cries out after leaving Chelsea
Alfie Gilchrist has joined Sheffield United on a season-long loan from Chelsea.
Alfie Gilchrist has been confirmed by Sheffield United as a 2024–25 loan signing from Chelsea.
Alfie Gilchrist made 17 appearances for Chelsea last season, scoring one goal, and breaking into the Chelsea starting lineup.
Speaking on his decision to join the Blades, the 20-year-old said: “I am really looking forward to it. It is a great opportunity which the club and the manager have given to me. I am just looking forward to getting started.
“It has always been the plan to showcase what I can do in the Premier League with the chances I’ve had, so now I want to try and do that week in, week out, here.
“This is a new challenge. I am taking myself out of my comfort zone. I’ve been there (at Chelsea) a while now, so I am ready to kick on. I came here last season for an away day, and seeing the fans and how they get behind the team, how much they love it, I was impressed.”
