Ellie Carpenter from Lyon has been signed for an undisclosed fee by women’s super league champion Chelsea.
After five years with Chelsea, Carpenter, 25, won the Champions League in 2019-20 and 2021-22, played for Sonia Bompastor at Lyon before quitting.
“I’m very pleased to join such a large club, one of the biggest in women’s football,” Carpenter said.
“I’m delighted to be a part of Chelsea’s success in England,” he said.
The following day, Canada’s Ashley Lawrence, 30, left the Blues for Lyon, the club that also won the FA Cup and the League Cup in 2024 and 2025.
Carpenter, who made her senior Australia debut at the age of 15, is a vastly experienced player with 87 international caps.
She became the youngest woman to play football at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio when she was 16 years old.
Her professional career includes a stint with the Portland Thorns in the United States.
