“Naomi has showcased her talent in the NWSL winning various individual awards and delivered on the international stage for the USA, including this summer winning a gold medal at the Olympics.
Chelsea have completed the signing of US defender Naomi Girma for a world-record transfer fee of around £900,000.
The fee exceeds the £685,000 Bay FC paid for Zambia's Racheal Kundananji last February, and makes Girma the first female $1million player in history.
Chelsea head of women’s football Paul Green said: “Naomi is a world-class defender who is now coming into the prime years of her career.
“There are a lot of things about Chelsea that made me want to come here - the culture, the winning mentality, staff and players.
