Chelsea have agreed a Ladies’s Tremendous League Deadline Day deal to signal England midfielder Keira Walsh from Barcelona.
Negotiations have been concluded on Thursday morning and a payment of round £400,000 agreed. Walsh may have a medical in London and a deal is anticipated to be concluded earlier than the 11pm deadline.
