Chelsea have completed the most expensive transfer in women's football, signing United States defender Naomi Girma.

The 24-year-old was unveiled ahead of Sunday's match against Arsenal at Stamford Bridge.

She arrives from San Diego Wave for $1.1 million, beating the previous transfer record of $862,000 paid by Bay FC in February 2024 for Rachel Kundananji.

This makes Girma the first million-dollar transfer in women's football after the "Blues" won the bidding in the competition against French club Lyon.
