Blues strengthen attack ahead of new Women’s Super League season
Chelsea prepare major signing for 25/26 season
Chelsea continues to reinforce its squad ahead of the start of the new Women’s Super League (WSL) season. After dominating English football last year with the league title, FA Cup and League Cup, the club’s management is now focused on building a team capable of finally conquering the Women’s Champions League.
Despite the domestic treble, Chelsea is convinced it must add more quality to rival Europe’s best. One of the major boosts is the expected return of Sam Kerr, who should be available early in the campaign.
Alyssa Thompson on the radar
According to the portal Soccer Donna, Chelsea is close to an agreement to sign Alyssa Thompson, striker for Angel City in the NWSL and a regular for the United States national team. The London club reportedly submitted a proposal worth €190,000, and negotiations are in advanced stages.
The arrival of the 19-year-old forward is seen as an important reinforcement to add speed and depth to the Blues’ attack. Thompson has been one of the most promising names in U.S. women’s soccer and would bring international experience to Chelsea’s frontline.

Chelsea is set to debut in the new WSL season on September 5th, when it faces Manchester City at 3:30 pm (Brasília time). Fans are already eager to see whether Alyssa Thompson’s signing will be confirmed in time for her to feature in the league opener.
