The 19-year-old has today completed her switch to Stamford Bridge and will join up with her new Chelsea team-mates as pre-season preparations continue.

The Blues will soon be travelling to New Zealand and Australia for our pre-season tour, which includes a fixture against Auckland FC on Saturday 8 August and a match against an Australian A-League all-stars side in Sydney on Wednesday 12 August.

'There’s a lot I want to achieve as a Chelsea player,' said the Italy international upon signing a four-year deal with the Blues.

'I hope we can do big things in the Champions League and, of course, we all know that the Women’s Super League is the toughest in the world. So I want to win that too.'
