After having the club's eyes on her for a long time, it became clear in August that 25-year-old Johanna Rytting Kaneryd signed for the English big club Chelsea.
The club already had captain Magdalena Eriksson and goalkeeper Zecira Musovic, her teammates in the national team.
- Both Magda and Zecce have been absolutely incredible and helped me with everything from getting into the team to everything practical you need to think about when you come to a new country, says Rytting Kaneryd.
The midfielder says that the training sessions at Chelsea have been a big boost for her.
- Partly it is the continuity of the training and that it is good quality, tough and fast paced.
You get a lot out physically.
There are many stars and many who work around the club.
It feels like every training session is a challenge and that's exactly what I need to develop and take the next step in my career.
I really enjoy every workout.
Praised by Chelsea captain Magdalena Eriksson
She has been allowed to play all three games in the season opener, even if the playing time has been sparse.
- But I feel that I am on the right track and starting to get into it more and more.
I have told myself to be patient at first.
But I feel I'm on the right track.
I had no expectations of playing, so it's just a bonus now at the beginning, says Rytting Kaneryd.
Chelsea captain Magdalena Eriksson pays tribute to her teammate after her first time at the club.
- Johanna has settled into the team very well.
She is a very simple person.
She is cool and brave, she dares to be herself and has got right into it with the language.
She has come in well football-wise too.
She dares to do her thing, I think that's great fun to see and I think she will develop a lot.
