It has been going on for a couple of days but today it became clear.
One of the world's best strikers, Pernille Harder, is ready for big-bet Chelsea.
The girlfriend, also the Chelsea captain, Magdalena Eriksson, is already in place at the London club.
It has been four years since the couple last represented the same club, then in Linköping but now they are reunited.
- It means a lot that we can finally combine football and private life.
It will probably also benefit the game on the field, I'm quite sure.
If you feel good off the field, it helps you to perform on the field, says Pernille Harder to SVT Sport.
"Struggled with long distance for over three years"
Magdalena Eriksson is also of course happy to bring Harder to Chelsea.
“On a personal level, it obviously feels absolutely fantastic.
We have struggled with long distance for over three years and to finally have a weekday together just feels absolutely fantastic ", Eriksson writes in a comment to TT.
Chelsea has emerged as the major power factor in English league football in recent years with three titles in the last five years.
With profile signings such as Sam Kerr and Pernille Harder, the Dane himself believes that the club can start to make an impression in Europe.
- I hope I can help the team take the next step in Europe.
Chelsea have won the league in England but still not taken the step in Europe and I hope to be able to help.
And I think we can do that, right now we have very good players.
The goal is to win the Champions League, says Harder to SVT Sport.
The Danish attacking star does not get much for the pre-season.
After playing the Champions League final on Sunday, English league football starts already on Sunday with the big meeting against Manchester United.
