LONDON (AP) — Chelsea Women signed Denmark captain Pernille Harder from Wolfsburg after paying what the German club said was “a record transfer fee for the women’s game.”
The clubs did not disclose the fee of Tuesday’s deal but media reports say it was about 300,000 euros ($355,000).
The 27-year-old attacker had nearly a year left on her Wolfsburg contract. She signed a three-year deal with the English champions, who are scheduled to begin their Women’s Super League season on Sunday at Manchester United.
“I’m looking forward to winning a lot of titles with Chelsea,” said Harder, who led Wolfsburg to four consecutive German league and cup doubles.
