Chelsea have signed France forward Sandy Baltimore from Paris St-Germain.

The 24-year-old has signed a four-year contract with the Women's Super League champions.

Baltimore, a product of the Paris St-Germain academy, made her debut aged 16 in and went on to make more than 200 appearances for the club.

"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.

Baltimore won one French title and three French Cups during her time in Paris and was named French Premiere Ligue Young Player of the year in 2020-21.

She was part of the France Under-19 team that won the European Championship in 2019 and has gone on to earn 28 caps for the senior side.

"We are delighted to bring Sandy to Chelsea. She is an exciting wide player who will give more balance to the squad, adding another naturally left footed player," said Chelsea general manager Paul Green.

"Sandy has gained a wealth of experience in France including within the Uefa Women’s Champions League and will bring more competition to the squad. We are looking forward to seeing her in Chelsea blue."
