Emma Hayes, commenting on the signing, said: ‘We first saw a young Zecira in our pre-season friendly against Rosengard nearly four years ago. We spotted she had potential right from the start and after monitoring her over a number of years, we are confident she fits the profile of a Chelsea goalkeeper well.
‘Zecira is driven, hungry to be the best and also has international and Champions League experience. I have no doubt her best is yet to come and we really look forward to welcoming her into the team in the New Year.’
This is a great move for Zacira and she will get the welcome from the players that she deserves.
