Chelsea Set Women's Transfer Records with Naomi Girma & Keira Walsh Signings! 🤯💰

Chelsea have made history in the January transfer window by completing the two most expensive signings in women’s football history—bringing in Naomi Girma from San Diego Wave and Keira Walsh from Barcelona. 🇺🇸🏴💙

🔹 Naomi Girma – The Defensive Wall

Chelsea secured the services of Naomi Girma, one of the best defenders in the world, from San Diego Wave. The U.S. international has been a standout in the NWSL, known for her exceptional composure, leadership, and ability to play out from the back. At just 23 years old, she’s already a pillar in the U.S. Women’s National Team (USWNT) and is expected to bolster Chelsea’s defense for years to come. 💪⚽

🔹 Keira Walsh – Midfield Maestro

Chelsea also landed England’s midfield superstar Keira Walsh from Barcelona, in another record-breaking deal. Walsh was a key part of England’s Euro 2022-winning squad and played a crucial role in Barcelona’s Champions League triumph. Her technical ability, passing range, and game intelligence make her a perfect addition to Emma Hayes' squad, strengthening their midfield alongside Erin Cuthbert and Melanie Leupolz. 🏆🔥

🔵 Chelsea’s Ambition in Women’s Football

These signings are a huge statement from Chelsea, reaffirming their ambition to dominate both the WSL and Champions League. With Hayes leaving at the end of the season, the club is ensuring a strong foundation for the future.

Chelsea are currently competing for WSL supremacy and aiming to win their first-ever Women's Champions League. With world-class additions like Girma and Walsh, the Blues are now one of the most formidable teams in Europe. 🌍⚽
