Chelsea have announced the signing of midfielder Oriane Jean-Francois from Paris St-Germain.

The 22-year-old has signed a three-year contract, which also includes an option for a further season.

Jean-Francois, who has five caps with France, joins her compatriot Sonia Bompastor at Chelsea after she replaced long-time manager Emma Hayes, who has joined the United States women's national team for the Olympics in Paris.

She is also the second Chelsea signing from PSG after striker Sandy Baltimore joined last week and midfielder Julia Bartel has also come in from Barcelona.

The Blues are also closing in on signing England defender Lucy Bronze after her contract at Barcelona expired in June.
