Chelsea Women have completed the signing of England midfielder Keira Walsh from Barcelona on WSL Deadline Day. The transfer fee is around £400,000. Walsh, who was a key player in England's Euro 2022 victory and World Cup 2023 run, returns to the WSL ahead of the Euros this summer.
Chelsea have signed England midfielder Keira Walsh from Barcelona . Negotiations were concluded on Thursday morning - WSL Deadline Day - and a fee of around £400,000 agreed. Walsh's Barcelona contract ends in June and she was keen on a return to the WSL as preparations step up for this summer's Euros with England. The 27-year-old became the most expensive transfer in the history of the women's game when joining Barcelona from Manchester City in 2022.
Another high-profile signing with immeasurable talent walks through the doors of Stamford Bridge. A move that comes days after the club broke the world record with a £900k capture of Naomi Girma. Walsh is a huge coup, not least because Arsenal were the frontrunners for her signature in the summer, but have since been punished for their hesitation. Besides, the Gunners are way behind what Chelsea can currently offer a player as ambitious as Walsh.
