Chelsea midfielder Jessie Fleming has joined National Women’s Soccer League club Portland Thorns for £250,000.
She has won three Women’s Super League (WSL) titles, three Women’s FA Cups and the League Cup since joining from university side UCLA Bruins in 2020.
The 25-year-old has 123 Canada caps, and in 2021 scored in the final when they won Olympic gold in Tokyo.
Fleming, who has scored 12 goals in 111 Chelsea games, joins Portland for the next NWSL season starting 16 March.
It is one of the most expensive signings by an American women’s club, though previous deals involving higher add-on fees have been concluded.
