Kadeisha Buchanan says the fiercely competitive nature of the Women’s Super League is what convinced her to swap Lyon for Chelsea this summer.
The five-time Champions League winner was Chelsea’s biggest signing of the transfer window, with the Blues beating several clubs to the signature of the Canadian international.
Buchanan wanted a new challenge and she got her first taste of just how tough the WSL can be, with the Blues losing the first game of their title defence at newly promoted Liverpool.
But the idea that anyone can beat anyone is one of the reasons why Buchanan was eager to make the switch to England.
