Chelsea and Netherlands prospect Daishawn Redan outshone the rest of Europe in 2018 to finish as the leading scorer in UEFA competition, an honour claimed by Cristiano Ronaldo in three of the previous five years.
Redan, who joined Chelsea from Ajax in summer 2017 and did not turn 17 until February, helped the Blues to the UEFA Youth League final with goals in the last 16, quarters and semis. He followed that up at the UEFA European Under-17 Championship in England by scoring three times as the Netherlands claimed the title to match his tally in March’s elite round.
