Nathalie Bjorn Settles in at Chelsea Ahead of Reunion with Everton

Swedish footballer Nathalie Bjorn has seamlessly settled into her new club, Chelsea, following her recent transfer from Everton. The 26-year-old midfielder, who signed a contract until the summer of 2027, made an impressive Chelsea debut against West Ham United in the Adobe Women’s FA Cup. She garnered praise from manager Emma Hayes for her performance that led to a victory over Manchester United and showcased her leadership qualities in a subsequent match against Brighton, where Chelsea secured a clean sheet and three points.

Bjorn expressed her excitement about playing against her former teammates at Everton in the upcoming Barclays Women’s Super League match. Although she is fully focused on delivering her best performance for Chelsea, she is looking forward to reuniting with familiar faces from her Everton days. The Swedish midfielder appreciates the fan support she received during her time with Everton and acknowledges the passionate and loyal Everton supporters who stood by the team through thick and thin.

On the pitch, Bjorn brings versatility to the Chelsea squad. While she primarily sees herself as a central defender, she has experience playing as a central midfielder for both her national team and Everton. Currently, she also occupies the right full-back position for the Swedish national team. Bjorn is pleased to have the opportunity to play as a central defender for Chelsea, as that is the position where the club sees her potential.
