Chelsea bring in Livia Peng as first summer addition | OneFootball

Chelsea have confirmed the signing of Swiss international goalkeeper Livia Peng from Werder Bremen on a four-year contract.

The 23-year-old will officially link up with the Blues on 1 July, once her current deal expires, and is expected to compete with Hannah Hampton for the starting spot under new head coach Sonia Bompastor.

Peng arrives as a direct replacement for Sweden’s Zecira Musovic, who is set to leave the club this summer when her contract runs out.

Capped seven times by Switzerland, Peng previously enjoyed success at FC Zurich, where she helped the side secure league and cup doubles in both 2019 and 2022.

She joined Werder Bremen in 2023 and quickly became their first-choice keeper, starting all but one of their Frauen-Bundesliga matches last season as they finished seventh.

Speaking about his move, Livia said: "I’m excited about everything. I'm looking forward to meeting the team, the staff, and everyone at the club. The support here is so big, I can’t wait to play at Stamford Bridge.

"I'm excited to meet the fans at the stadium. I’ve heard so many good things about them. I'm looking forward to seeing what the Chelsea family is like. I want to feel their passion and support."
