Chelsea has officially signed England midfielder Keira Walsh from FC Barcelona on a four-and-a-half-year deal. The 27-year-old, who had a successful stint at Manchester City before transferring to Barcelona, is here to bolster Chelsea's midfield as they chase key championships. Walsh expressed her excitement about joining the club, noting its rich history of titles. The transfer was facilitated despite initial reluctance from Barcelona, as Chelsea aims for the Women's Champions League victory, reinforcing their squad alongside recent signing Naomi Girma.
Despite Barca initially being unwilling to sell, it is believed Chelsea's bid was accepted late on Wednesday before Walsh had a medical on Thursday.
"It's unbelievable. I'm very happy to be here and very excited to get started," Walsh said. "You look at the history of the trophies Chelsea have won and I'm an ambitious player and person, so for me, it is a good fit."
