The squad number Manaka Matsukubo will wear for Chelsea following her transfer from North Carolina Courage has been confirmed.
The 21-year-old has today completed her switch to Stamford Bridge and will begin training with her new Chelsea team-mates when they return from their summer break.
The Blues will then travel to New Zealand and Australia for a 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.
‘As a small child, I followed Chelsea because it is a club everyone in the world knows about,' said the Japanese international, who turns 22 later this month, upon signing her five-year deal with the Blues.
‘The club has a strong history of winning trophies and has done so well at the top of the game, so I couldn’t pass up this opportunity. I want to help continue this club’s tradition of winning trophies for years to come.’
Ahead of her first campaign at Chelsea, Manaka has opted to take the No.29 shirt! And you can purchase and personalise your Blues home kit with our latest signing's name and number by clicking here now!
