Reece expressed his admiration for Lauren at the end of 2022, declaring her as the greatest women’s footballer currently and for the foreseeable future.
His words were full of praise and demonstrated his confidence in his sister’s talent and potential.
“She inspires me every day and will continue to,” he wrote.
“I believe she is the best women’s footballer in the world, and will be for the next 10-15 years, without doubt. She’s technically better than some Prem players.”
After Lauren’s successful night at the London Football Awards, Reece shared his excitement on Instagram and referred to his sister as the GOAT, highlighting her impressive achievements and recognition.
Lauren’s arrival at Chelsea from Manchester United in 2021 was impacted by injuries, resulting in her being gradually integrated into the team. However, her perseverance and hard work have paid off, and her manager, Emma Hayes, is now seeing the rewards of her efforts. Hayes has high expectations for Lauren and believes that the best is yet to come from the talented England international.

Lauren was eased into the Chelsea team when she arrived from Man United in 2021, impacted by injuries, and manager Emma Hayes is now reaping the rewards. She believes the best is yet to come from the England international.
Hayes said last month: “She’s fabulous to work with, she really is.
“It’s growing (her contributions). I think the fact we’re able to keep her on the pitch week in week out is only going to keep adding value.
“I think there is so much more to come from her, but she’s having to work on so many elements of her game that we can’t expect everything at once.”
