Chelsea have confirmed the signing of ******* an international Manaka Matsukubo from North Carolina Courage on a five-year deal.
The 21-year-old arrives in west London after establishing herself as one of the brightest young talents in world football, having been named the NWSL Midfielder of the Year last season.
Speaking after completing the move, Matsukubo shared her excitement about joining the reigning Women’s Super League champions.
“I’m so excited to be joining Chelsea, a club with a lot of history. As a small child, I followed Chelsea because it is a club everyone in the world knows about. The club has a strong history of winning trophies and has done so well at the top of the game, so I couldn’t pass up this opportunity, and I want to help continue this club’s tradition of winning trophies for years to come,” she said.
Capable of playing as both an attacking midfielder and central striker, Matsukubo is known for her creativity, technical quality and eye for goal. Her ability to operate across the front line adds another attacking option to Sonia Bompastor’s squad ahead of the new campaign.
