Fresh off a stunning run at the UEFA Women’s EURO 2025, Lauren James is showing exactly why she’s the name on everyone’s lips right now.
She lit up the tournament for England with her trademark footwork, balance, and that “try and stop me” energy — and now this highlight reel is going viral for all the same reasons.
She doesn’t just dribble past defenders. She floats past them. She creates space where there is none. And her finishing? Ice cold.
No wonder fans are now scrambling to watch every clip of her magic skills.
This highlight reel from her earlier club performances is suddenly doing the rounds again, racking up millions of views as people search up her name to figure out what all the hype is about.
Watch the full highlight reel below.
A Star From the Start
Lauren James has been on radars since she was 16, and it’s no surprise. Whether she’s in Chelsea blue or the England kit, she plays with a confidence and creativity that’s impossible to coach.
- That first touch under pressure? Killer.
- The stop-start tempo? Unplayable.
- That signature open-up-the-body curler into the far post? Don’t even try to stop it.
She’s not just exciting to watch — she’s a tactical nightmare to defend.
And the best bit? She’s still only in her early twenties. We’re just getting started.
Want to Play Like Lauren? Try These 3 Things
1. Keep your body relaxed when you dribble
Lauren’s strength isn’t in flashy stepovers — it’s how smooth she is on the ball. Shoulders loose. Touch light. Always in control. Practise slowing down your dribble to speed it up again. The rhythm is what kills defenders.
2. Practise that inside curl
Her trademark finish? That right-footed curler into the far post. Set up cones and shape your body to wrap the ball into that bottom corner, just like she does — over and over again.
3. Be unpredictable
Lauren doesn’t just go past people — she sends them. She cuts left, cuts right, uses feints, drops into midfield, then reappears on the wing. Add a little unpredictability to your game and defenders won’t know whether to track you or pray.
Lauren James. Playmaker. Dribble queen. Highlight machine.
And based on this video? She’s just warming up.
