It was a well deserved award for a young player who has been working so hard to maintain consistent form all season and has been a real menace to defenders all year.<\/p>\n

Shearer was presenting the awards last night, and as you will see further below, Mheuka put his best outfit on to accept it and was see lapping up the occasion.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s not really had many first team chances at Chelsea this season, but he has been called upon a few times. Hopefully going forward now we will see him more involved \u2013 although a good loan is needed for him this summer now.<\/p>\n

Mheuka accepts his award<\/h2>\n

I\u2019m sure he\u2019s very happy to be there and taking this award, despite his stone cold look! He looks like he\u2019s in the zone and ready to play another game, sign of a top mentality!<\/p>\n

Very well deserved, Shim!<\/p>\n

Alonso is being linked more and more with the Chelsea job recently, and one journalist is now saying he\u2019s the \u201cmain target\u201d for the Blues. It\u2019s pretty clear Chelsea want him as the priority.<\/p>\n

Alonso would have the authority to command a dressing room at Chelsea, a key ingredient for the new manager. This helps make him the standout candidate for the head coach role at Stamford Bridge.<\/p>\n
