Chelsea have completed the signing of Switzerland goalkeeper Livia Peng from Werder Bremen on a four-year contract.
Peng has seven Switzerland caps and won the league and cup Double with FC Zurich in 2019 and 2022.
The 23-year-old cemented herself as Werder Bremen's number one last season and started all but one of the German club's Frauen-Bundesliga matches on their way to a seventh-place finish.
Peng said: "It feels so good to be here. When I was 10, I dreamed of playing for Chelsea. Now, my childhood dream has come true and it's so exciting. I'm really happy to join the Chelsea family and get started.
"It's such a big club. Chelsea want to win titles and so do I. We're a good match. I'm hungry to win here."
Peng will battle it out with England's Hannah Hampton for the number one spot at the Blues.
