Chelsea are set to sign Republic of Ireland captain Katie McCabe when her Arsenal contract expires on July 1.
The 30-year-old has signed a contract with the Blues until 30 June 2029, with the option of an additional year.
McCabe made 305 appearances during an 11-year spell with Arsenal, helping them win the Women’s Super League in 2019.
McCabe, whose family support Chelsea, said: “It’s a new chapter in my career. This is something that I feel I’m ready for right now.
“I’m really excited to get going and show the Chelsea fans how ready I am to perform for the badge.
“I’m so looking forward to walking out at Stamford Bridge as a home player, being around the fan base and competing for trophies on all fronts.
“This club has been successful for so many years. I want to keep pushing and driving that, and for me, it’s about bringing that success back to Chelsea.”
It is understood McCabe had offers from Manchester City and the NWSL but decided to remain in London.
