Naomi Girma's record-breaking transfer to Chelsea from San Diego Wave highlights her status as one of the most sought-after talents in women's football. The $1.1 million deal surpasses previous benchmarks and reflects the growing investment in women's sport. Girma, attracted by Chelsea's culture and winning mentality, chose the club over rivals like Arsenal and Lyon. She was officially introduced ahead of a league match against Arsenal, where Chelsea also secured a significant victory, showcasing both on-field and off-field dominance in women's football.
I'm just asking for a friend here, because like I mentioned, there were a number of teams after you. Arsenal sent me along to the directors' box to try and help you be a Red, but it didn't turn out.
You were amazing! Unfortunately for Scott and Arsenal, it seems Girma's mind was already made up as she described the decision to join Chelsea as an easy choice.
There are a lot of things about Chelsea that made me want to come here - the culture, the winning mentality, staff and players. It's a top environment to learn and grow in.
I'm so happy and really excited to be here. It doesn't feel real.
