Keira Walsh: Chelsea sign England midfielder from Barcelona
Chelsea has signed a England midfielder Keira Walsh from Barcelona.
The 27 -year -old person spent eight years before joining Barcelona in Manchester City, and he has signed a contract with Chelsea for four and a half years.
The deadline for women’s super league transfer is Thursday, but the transaction was announced on Friday.
Chelsea did not confirm the cost, but did not challenge their record of 900,000 pounds paid for the US defender Naomi Girma earlier this month.
Walsh said: “This is incredible. I am glad to come here and be very happy to start.”
“Look at the history of the Chelsea trophy. I am an ambitious player and person, so for me, this is a good choice.”
Although Barcelona was unwilling to be sold at first, it was believed that Chelsea’s bid was accepted later on Wednesday, and Walsh received medical care on Thursday.
The 27 -year -old man left Manchester City in 2022 and joined Barcelona. At that time, he received a world record fee of 400,000 pounds. He was eager to return to England to approach closely with his family.
Chelsea is the first of the Women’s Super League and the only undefeated team after 12 games. He has been interested in Walsh and has been seeking to strengthen his midfielder since summer.
Manager Sonia Bompaastor received major support when the club won the champion league. Walsh won the game twice with Barcelona.
Although she played for Barcelona in the group stage of the game this season, she is still qualified to play for Chelsea from the quarterfinals.
