Keira Walsh says the period following her mid-season transfer from Barcelona to Chelsea Women was the worst feeling. The England international returned to the Women's Super League in January 2025 after two and a half years in Spain. Walsh admits to feeling like a new kid at school while trying to build chemistry with her new teammates during the campaign, according to The Guardian.
Chelsea sit second in the Women's Super League table behind Manchester City as of 11 March 2026. The midfielder has started seven league matches since her arrival, per Sky Sports. Walsh notes that the technical demands at Chelsea differ from her experience in Barcelona, requiring a significant period of physical and tactical adjustment.
Manager Sonia Bompastor has integrated Walsh into a midfield containing Erin Cuthbert and Sjoeke Nusken. The 28-year-old remains a central figure for the England national team as it prepares for upcoming international fixtures. Walsh previously won the Champions League twice during her tenure in Spain.
