LCFC Women have completed the signing of midfielder Charlotte Fleming from Chelsea Women, subject to approval.
The 19-year-old joins a Foxes side who are currently top of the FA Women’s Championship, with 32 points from 13 games.
A graduate of Chelsea’s Academy, Fleming joined the Blues at the age of 10 and became the third Academy product to step-up to the women’s team.
She made two starts for Chelsea last season, both in cup competitions against Lewes and Charlton Athletic, while she also played three times for England’s Under-17s in the UEFA Women’s Under-17 Championship.
“For me, it’s a great move,” she told LCFC.com. “I’m really excited to continue my development and get some game time. I want to help the team as much I can.
“I’ve spoken to some of the girls and they seem lovely. They’re here to enjoy what they do, but also they’re a determined group that want to be successful.”
The youngster will now link up with her new teammates ahead of Sunday’s league encounter at home to Crystal Palace Women at Farley Way Stadium (2pm kick-off).
