Chelsea recruit highly-rated Nicky Evrard as Emma Hayes begins summer transfer business

Nicky Evrard Emma Hayes Chelsea Belgium Zecira Musovic Gent OH Leuven

The fight to be Chelsea's first-choice keeper looks set to intensify next season after the club announced the signing of Belgian No.1 goalkeeper Nicky Evrard.

The Blues have already begun their summer shopping by confirming an agreement had been reached with Evrard, as Emma Hayes wastes no time in improving her squad. Evrard, 27, is highly-rated across Europe and currently plies her trade for OH Leuven, the Belgium Women's Super League leaders.

She will join Chelsea, who were beaten by Arsenal in Sunday's League Cup final, on July 1 ahead of the 2023-24 campaign, and will compete to be Hayes' first-choice alongside current keepers Zecira Musovic and Ann Katrin-Berger.
