The goalkeeper of OH Leuven and the Red Flames saw her contract expire at the end of this season and now has an absolute top transfer. She signed a contract with Chelsea until the summer of 2026 and will start there from next season.

“This is really crazy, dreams come true,” says Evrard on the site of her new team. “I am very happy, excited and honored to be playing for a club like Chelsea. I hope to bring my achievements from the European Football Championship there and to contribute something to the team. That’s the big goal. Chelsea want to take trophies and that is also my ambition.”

“Nicky will be a great addition to our squad, she definitely showed her talent at the last European Championship,” said coach Emma Hayes. Chelsea already pulled Evrard’s sleeve after that European Championship, but a transfer was not yet made. “Getting into a professional, full-time environment will help her take the next steps.”
