Chelsea have signed the Paris St-Germain forward Sandy Baltimore on a four-year contract as the new head coach, Sonia Bompastor, continues her overhaul of the squad. The former Lyon coach replaced Emma Hayes this summer and Baltimore becomes her second signing after that of the Barcelona midfielder Julia Bartel. Lucy Bronze is expected to join in the coming days.
Baltimore, a 24-year-old France international, is a graduate of the PSG academy and made more than 200 appearances in nine seasons. “I’m very happy to join Chelsea. It feels incredible. I have always wanted to play for Chelsea and now look, it has happened,” she said.
