Women's Super League leaders Chelsea have won both the player and manager of the month awards for September.

Chelsea's Aggie Beever-Jones is the WSL player of the month after scoring in all four of their games.

The England forward opened the scoring in wins against Manchester City, Aston Villa, Leicester City and West Ham United.

The 22-year-old topped a shortlist which also featured Aoba Fujino, Alessia Russo, Anna Sandberg, Maisie Symonds and Cathinka Tandberg.

Chelsea boss Sonia Bompastor, who led them to the 2025-25 title, is the WSL manager of the month.

Chelsea became the first WSL side to finish a 22-game campaign unbeaten last season.

Tottenham Hotspur's Martin Ho, Manchester City's Andree Jeglertz and Manchester United's Marc Skinner were also shortlisted for the manager's prize.

Arsenal's Olivia Smith's strike in the 4-1 win against London City Lionesses in the opening fixture of the 2025-26 WSL season was voted goal of the month for September.

Chelsea midfielder Sjoeke Nusken has signed a new contract which will keep her at the club until 2027.

The 24-year-old German international joined from Eintracht Frankfurt in the summer of 2023.

She made 36 appearances and scored five goals in all competitions for the Blues last season, as well as scoring twice in four appearances as Germany reached the semi-finals at Euro 2025.

"I'm very happy to have another year at Chelsea, to stay another year with my team," said Nusken.

"We have a big year coming up, and hopefully, we can achieve the Champions League title. We want to achieve a lot of things together."
