U.S. women's national team forward Alyssa Thompson is officially a Chelsea player after completing a transfer from Angel City FC in the final hours before England's transfer deadline on Thursday.
Thompson's move from her hometown National Women's Soccer League team to the six-time defending English champions was one of the most expensive transfers in women's soccer to date. The ramifications of it, however, stretch far beyond the financial.
Is it a good move for Thompson's career? What will she bring to Chelsea? How bad is the situation for Angel City after losing Thompson?
