Chelsea have signed a young football star who knows how to find the back of the net.
Chelsea Women have signed 17 year old forward Rachael Adedini on her first professional contract.
The France youth international was born in Le Havre and has Nigerian roots.
She joins from Manchester City’s academy after earlier spells at Manchester United and in France.
Adedini can play as a central striker or out wide.
She has 24 caps for France Under 17s and has also played at Under 19 level.
At the UEFA Women’s Under 17 European Championship she finished as top scorer with nine goals across three tournaments, and she claimed the Golden Boot after helping France reach the 2026 final.
She said she was very happy and grateful to join Chelsea.
Her brother is a big fan of the club, so the move means a lot to her and her family.
