Chelsea have agreed a Women's Super League Deadline Day deal to sign England midfielder Keira Walsh from Barcelona.

Negotiations were concluded on Thursday morning and a fee of around £500,000 agreed. Walsh will have a medical in London and a deal is expected to be concluded before the 11pm deadline.

Walsh's Barcelona contract ends in the summer and she was keen on a move back to the WSL.

The 27-year-old joined Barcelona from Manchester City in 2022 for a then world-record fee of £400,000.

Chelsea broke the record to sign USA defender Naomi Girma earlier this month.
