Chelsea have signed the Canada defender Kadeisha Buchanan from Lyon and announced that she will be the first player at the club to wear the No 26 shirt since John Terry left in 2017.
Buchanan has been at Lyon for five and a half years and last month won her fifth Champions League there, coming on in the final against Barcelona. The 26-year-old has played 118 times for Canada and was part of the team that won gold at the Tokyo Olympics last year.
