Chelsea are set to sign Republic of Ireland captain Katie McCabe following her exit from Arsenal.

The 30-year-old left Arsenal after her contract expired, having made 305 appearances during an 11-year spell.

She was one of the club’s greatest players in the Women’s Super League era and helped them win the title in 2019.

The versatile full-back, who can also play as a winger or a centre-back, was absent from Arsenal’s parade on Sunday to celebrate their Champions Cup win in February.

Chelsea have had long-term interest in McCabe and held off competition from WSL champions Manchester City to secure her signature.

An approach was made by Chelsea for McCabe in 2015 but she opted to join Arsenal. They reportedly attempted again in 2023 but their bid was rejected.

She was offered a late contract renewal by Arsenal in April but decided to pursue other opportunities, with Chelsea and City having made their interest known.
