Jessie Fleming departs Chelsea and joins Portland Thorns in a lucrative agreement worth £250,000 – seizing a favorable chance at the perfect moment.

Chelsea’s Jessie Fleming has made a bold move to join the National Women’s Soccer League club Portland Thorns, and she couldn’t be more excited about the opportunity. The Canadian star, who has had a successful stint with Chelsea, leaves London for a reported fee of £250,000. During her time with Chelsea, Fleming has won three Women’s Super League titles, three Women’s FA Cups, and the League Cup.

Fleming, who joined Chelsea from UCLA Bruins in 2020, expressed her love for the club and her teammates. However, she believes that joining Portland Thorns will allow her to play a bigger and more consistent role, which will help her continue to grow her game. With 123 caps for Canada, Fleming is no stranger to success, having scored in the 2021 Olympic final to help her team secure a gold medal.

The midfielder is thrilled to be joining a team with a successful history in the NWSL and is looking forward to playing alongside talented players, especially in the midfield. Being Canadian, Fleming also sees the move as an opportunity to be closer to her family. She is eager to get to work and make the most of this new chapter in her career.
