Chelsea have announced the signing of the Germany midfielder Sjoeke Nüsken, who will join from Eintracht Frankfurt on 1 July. The 22-year-old, who has a three-year deal, can also play at centre-half.

“Sjoeke is a fantastic young midfield player whose ability to play the ball deep into the opponents’ half is not her only standout strength,” Chelsea’s manager, Emma Hayes, said. “There is everything from her interceptions, her reading of the game and her overall presence. She’s dynamic, she’s good aerially and she’s going to be a fantastic signing.”
