High of the Week
Chelsea’s massive transfer window continued when they secured the move of Keira Walsh. Chelsea currently sits atop the Women’s Super League standings with an undefeated record of 12 wins and just one draw. The already very talented Blues team got even richer with the signing of Naomi Girma last week and then they added one of the best midfielders in Walsh. Chelsea signed Walsh to a 4 ½ year deal with a transfer worth over $500,000.
The midfielder spent the last three seasons with Barcelona, where she helped them win back-to-back UEFA Women’s Champions League titles. Before joining Barcelona, the England native spent eight years with Manchester City. The rumor going around the women’s soccer world was that Chelsea was looking for a defensive midfielder, and they got that and then some with the addition of Walsh.
Walsh debuted for Chelsea in their 1-0 win over Aston Villa.
