Chelsea have confirmed the signing of Paris Saint-Germain and Canada defender Ashley Lawrence on a three-year deal running until the summer of 2026.
The 28-year-old joins the Blues after six years with PSG, making 180 appearances for the French club. At international level, she has over 100 caps for Canada and played a key role in their Tokyo 2020 gold medal winning campaign.
She will represent Canada at this summer's World Cup in Australia and New Zealand alongside new club teammates Jessie Fleming and Kadeisha Buchanan. Following the tournament, she will join up with her new team ahead of the 2023/24 season in which Chelsea will hope to retain their Women's Super League title.
