Chelsea Women have completed the signing of Eve Perisset on a three-year deal from Bordeaux. The France international becomes the first signing of the new regime that is led by the Todd Boehly consortium. The London club has not been able to sign new players or renew contracts since March due to sanctions on former owner Roman Abramovich following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Perisset began her career at Lyon before moving to PSG in 2016. She won the league and cup double at Lyon four times before adding another league cup during her time at PSG. She has 34 caps for France after making her debut in 2016.
“It’s a fantastic honor to join Chelsea and to be the first French female player to become a blue! I am very thankful for the opportunity that has been given to me,” the new Chelsea Women signing Eve Perisset said. “The time was right for me to make this big move to London and join the English Super League and I cannot wait to meet the team and the fans later this summer at Kingsmeadow and at the famous Stamford Bridge!”
“Eve brings a wealth of experience and is a versatile player who is able to play in both full-back positions and midfield,” Chelsea Women boss Emma Hayes said. “A tenacious defender, with her mentality and professionalism we have no doubt she will complement the group well. We really look forward to welcoming Eve to the team later this summer as we head into the new season.”
