Chelsea Complete First Signing Under New Owners
Chelsea FC Women has announced the signing of French international Ève Perisset on a three-year deal ahead of the 2022/23 season.
More Details
The signing was the first since the Club takeover by the Todd Boehly consortium (Clearlake Capital, Mark Walter, and Hansjörg Wyss).
Joining from French Division One side Bordeaux on 1 July, the 27-year-old has signed with the Blues until summer 2025 and will wear shirt number 15.

While at Lyon, she won the league and the Coupe de France Feminine four times while also lifting the latter at PSG for the fifth time.
Perisset signed for Bordeaux in June 2020 where she played both full-back positions and midfield with 45 appearances for the Girondins and over 125 D1 appearances across her career.
On the international stage, Perisset brings a wealth of experience to Kingsmeadow with 34 caps to her name since her senior debut against Brazil in 2016, most significantly representing Les Bleues in the UEFA European Championships in 2017 and the FIFA World Cup in 2019.
