"The Blues are said to have paid £1m ($1.4m) for the striker, who has signed a five-year contract with the Women's Super League champions. Thompson has become the third player this transfer window to sign for a WSL club for £1m, following Olivia Smith's move to Arsenal in July, and Grace Geyoro's switch to London City Lionesses, which was announced earlier on Friday. The 20-year-old made 69 appearances for Angel City in all competitions, netting 15 goals in total. In 2025, she enjoyed her best scoring season, with six goals in 16 matches."
Chelsea have signed Alyssa Thompson from Angel City for a reported club-record fee of £1m on a five-year contract. Thompson is the third WSL signing this transfer window for £1m, following Olivia Smith and Grace Geyoro. The 20-year-old made 69 appearances for Angel City, scoring 15 goals overall and registering six goals in 16 matches in 2025. She was the first high-schooler and the first overall pick in the 2023 NWSL draft. Thompson has 22 caps for the United States, having debuted as a 17-year-old in October 2022 against England. The signing adds attacking depth after Mayra Ramirez's hamstring surgery, while Sam Kerr is available for the WSL opener.
