Chelsea women are closing in on the signing of American forward Mia Fishel ahead of next season, according to ESPN sources.
Fishel will become the next part of Chelsea’s rebuild with the 22-year-old set to be their latest signing of the summer. Sources have told ESPN Chelsea will pay in the region of £200,000 for the forward, with London’s Evening Standard the first to report the news.

With Chelsea losing the likes of Pernille Harder and Magda Eriksson this summer, Emma Hayes is overhauling the playing squad with USWNT midfielder Catalina Macario, the versatile Canadian Ashley Lawrence, England goalkeeper Hannah Hampton and Germany midfielder Sjoeke Nusken all joining.
If the final details are all sorted, Fishel will join Chelsea from Mexico side Tigres on a deal which will be one of the most expensive in the club’s history and continues Chelsea’s off-season policy of recruiting younger players.
