List with the shortest Chelsea players and their height in feet (ft) and cm this season 2023/24
It’s quite interesting to compare your height with Chelsea players to see how you’d line up next to them. All figures are taken from TransferMarkt.com. So here we look at the Chelsea FC Shortest Players 2024:
6. Enzo Fernandez is one of the shortest Chelsea Players – 1.78m
How short is Enzo Fernandez? Enzo Fernandez height is 5 feet 7 inches (1.78m)!
The World Cup winner made his big-money move to Chelsea in the January transfer window. He actually has struggled for game time last season and is expected to make an impact in the new campaign.
His quality certainly saw some promise for the upcoming campaign and will need a more defensive-minded central midfielder to partner him. Moises Caicedo has been identified as the perfect partner for Enzo Fernandez.
5. Malo Gusto is one of the shortest Chelsea Players – 1.78m
How short is Malo Gusto? Malo Gusto height is 5 feet 7 inches (1.78m)!
Malo Gusto is the fresh name in the list of shortest Chelsea players. He jointly takes the 5th spot in the list. Chelsea signed this young talent in the winter transfer window of 2023. His contract was finalised until 2030 for a fee reported to be £26.3m plus £4.45m in bonuses.
The 27-year-old defender didn’t feature a single time in the previous edition. Gusto was loaned back to Lyon until the end of the 2022–23 season. Chelsea recalled him after an impressive number in Ligue 1. He made his debut for the Blues against Liverpool in the Premier League. He has been regular under Pochettino this term.
4. Christopher Nkunku  is one of the shortest Chelsea Players -1.77m
How short is Christopher Nkunku? Christopher Nkunku height is 5 feet 8 inches (1.77m)!
I was actually very surprised to learn that Christopher Nkunku was not Chelsea’s shortest player when Gilmour was part of the squad. He is currently the shortest player in the squad. He looks tiny compared to some players, especially the defenders like Chalobah and Thiago Silva. Due to Maatsen’s departure to Dortmund, he entered into the top 5.
He was signed by Chelsea in the previous summer on a six-year deal with a transfer fee of £52 million. He had undergone surgery for a knee injury sustained during a pre-season. He made his debut in December last year against Newcastle United in the quarter-finals of the EFL Cup.
Standing at 1.67m tall (5 ft 8 in) he is smaller than average but this short height allows him to tackle defenders from the blind side without being seen. He also can adjust his body and legs so quickly to allow him to tackle or intercept.
3. Mykhaylo Mudryk is one of the shortest Chelsea players – 1.75m
How short is Mykhaylo Mudryk? Mykhaylo Mudryk height is 5 feet 6 inches (1.75m)!
The Ukrainian winger is one of Chelsea FC shortest players standing at 1.75m (5 ft 6 in), Mudryk is surprisingly strong. You don’t often see him getting bullied by bigger opposition players.
It’s a surprise though that Kovacic is shorter than Christian Pulisic. Following his arrival in January, the 23-year-old forward has featured in all five of Chelsea’s fixtures but has struggled to make his mark at Stamford Bridge. Meanwhile, his contract will expire in 2031.
2. Marc Cucurella is one the shortest Chelsea players – 1.73m
How short is Marc Cucurella? Marc Cucurella height is 5 feet 5 inches (1.73m)!
Marc Cucurella has been called old-school, demonstrating all the traits of an all-around attacking defender. Reports suggest that the former Brighton defender would be offloaded this summer as Chelsea prepares for a second successive summer rebuild. The 25-year-old will see his contract expire in June 2028.
With the height of 1.73m, he becomes the second shortest Chelsea player in 2023/24.
1. Raheem Sterling is the shortest Chelsea Player -1.70m
How short is Raheem Sterling? Raheem Sterling height is 5 feet 5 inches (1.70m)!
The former Manchester City winger is the shortest Chelsea player in the current squad. The 28-year-old winger scored six goals in 28 appearances for the Blues in his debut season. He struggled to make his mark for Chelsea. He has scored 5 goals and provided 3 assists in the first half of the current season.
But the England international is determined to extend his stay at the West London club and fight for his place. Sterling must be one of the best small footballers in the world right now (excluding Lionel Messi of course). Watch & Bet Football Live =>
