Crystal Dunn leaves NWSL to join Chelsea Ladies

Chelsea Ladies have announced the acquisition of U.S. women's national team star Crystal Dunn from the Washington Spirit of the NWSL.

Dunn, 24, joins the London club on a contract until 2018.

"It’s a big personal challenge for me but I am ready to take this next step in my career," Dunn told Chelsea's official website. "Playing for Chelsea is a unique opportunity for me to take my game to another level and I think the moment is right."

The New York native won the 2015 NWSL Golden Boot and league MVP with the Spirit after a campaign in which she scored 15 goals.
