Chelsea star Kadeisha Buchanan admits the 'competitiveness' of the WSL is what convinced her to leave Lyon and reveals that boss Emma Hayes is 'going to push her to the max'

Kadeisha Buchanan says the fiercely competitive nature of the Women’s Super League is what convinced her to swap Lyon for Chelsea this summer.

The five-time Champions League winner was Chelsea’s biggest signing of the transfer window, with the Blues beating several clubs to the signature of the Canadian international.

Buchanan wanted a new challenge and she got her first taste of just how tough the WSL can be, with the Blues losing the first game of their title defence at newly promoted Liverpool.
