Chelsea set to sign Levante's Ramirez for record fee after Kerr's ACL injury

Chelsea Women are close to signing Colombia striker Mayra Ramirez for a club-record fee.

The 24-year-old has impressed at Levante, scoring six goals in seven league games this season after netting 14 times last term.

Chelsea have been keen on signing a striker this window after Sam Kerr suffered an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury during a warm weather training camp in Morocco earlier this month.

Ramirez is set to become Chelsea's most expensive signing, surpassing the £250,000 fee paid for Pernille Harder from Wolfsburg in 2020.
