Crystal Palace Women have signed England U-19 international forward Lucy Watson on a season-long loan from Chelsea.
She received her first call-up to England U-19s in June 2021 at the age of just 17, playing three times in last summer’s Euros.
Her eight goals in 22 Championship matches for Sheffield United helped secure a transfer to Chelsea.
Watson told cpfc.co.uk: “I’m excited to get started. The setup here is incredible.
“It’s just been great, and I can’t wait to get involved with the girls because they’ve had a great start to the season.”
Head coach Laura Kaminski added: “We’re delighted that Lucy has chosen to take the next step in her development at Crystal Palace.
“Lucy is a young forward of real talent and potential, and her arrival gives us even more options in attack for the season ahead. We look forward to working with her this season.”
