Chelsea goalkeeper Hedvig Lindahl has no equal in the Women's Super League, according to Blues boss Emma Hayes.
The 32-year-old Sweden international joined the London club from Kristianstads DFF in December.
"She's the best goalkeeper in the league," Hayes told BBC Sport, after Thursday's 0-0 draw against Arsenal.
"She's got two impressive defenders in front of her too. I don't want to sell Niamh Fahey and Gilly Flaherty short because they were immense."
