Thank you to my teammates, coaches, staff, and all the fans for always supporting me. I really appreciate everything you did for me.
I’m excited for my next challenge, but this club will always be special to me. Thank you again, and I wish everyone all the best,” said Matsukubo.
Chelsea confirmed that Matsukubo will wear the number 29 shirt for the upcoming campaign under manager Sonia Bompastor.
The recruitment follows the arrival of defender Katie McCabe from Arsenal, alongside a one-year contract extension for England defender Lucy Bronze.
