Chelsea already wanted her during the winter transfer window, but OHL kept Evrard in his contract. His management remained in contact with the London club, who in fact immediately started looking for another goalkeeper. Nicky Evrard, however, remained the biggest dot on the radar. In the end, they brought her to the Women’s Super League with a six-month delay.

The national goalkeepers of Sweden, Zelcira Musovic (26), and of Germany, Ann-Katrin Berger (32) will soon have 2.5 and 4 seasons as goalkeepers at Chelsea. Berger’s future at the club is unclear. She has thyroid cancer. Musovic has only signed up until 2025. “Will I be the best paid? I don’t know,” says Evrard.

“I will start in July. It will be calm then, because from July 20 to August 20 there will be the World Cup. It is not yet known when the competition will start. Of Chelsea’s 23 pros, if fit, 15 will be in Australia and New Zealand. Chelsea will play the quarter-finals of the Champions League against Lyon with Janice Cayman and in the battle for the title it will always be between the Blues, Manchester and Arsenal.
