Chelsea have completed the signing of Leicester City full-back Nelly Las on a four-year deal.
WSL Full-Time were informed of the news via an official club press release from The Blues this morning.
It has been reported that Chelsea have paid an undisclosed fee to Leicester City to secure the player’s services.
The 18-year-old is a product of the Leicester City academy system. Las made her senior debut for The Foxes in October 2024. In total, she has gone on to make 23 appearances for the club at first team level.
Las spent the second half of last season on loan at Ipswich Town. She helped the club to retain their Barclays WSL2 status.
On the international stage, Las has represented England at various youth levels up to and including Under-19 level. She is now pushing for honours with the Under-20s.
After joining Chelsea, Las said “It feels absolutely amazing. It’s something you dream of since you start football, to sign for a team like Chelsea and to reach a level like this. To be signing for Chelsea, I’m speechless. I’m really excited to run out at Stamford Bridge as a Chelsea player. I’ve had a look around the stadium and it is unreal.
“I can’t wait to meet all the fans and get the season underway. It is a dream come true to sign for Chelsea. I have been watching this team achieve success growing up, and to be here and signing for this club now, I have no words.”
Las is Chelsea’s fourth signing of the summer transfer window.
