Chelsea star Erin Cuthbert joins Celtic on loan

New signing poised for Glasgow derby debut

Chelsea forward Erin Cuthbert has joined Celtic on loan until the end of the season, the Scottish club have announced.

The 24-year-old Scotland international has been capped 52 times by her country and has won the Women's Super League title three times with Chelsea.

Cuthbert is a versatile player who can play anywhere across the front line and will provide Celtic with a much-needed boost in attack.

She is expected to make her debut for the Hoops in the Glasgow derby against Rangers on Sunday.

"I'm really excited to join Celtic," Cuthbert said.

"I've heard great things about the club and the fans, and I can't wait to get started."

"I'm hoping to score goals and help the team win trophies."

"We are delighted to welcome Erin to Celtic," Alonso said.

"She is a player of the highest quality and will bring a wealth of experience to our squad."

"I'm sure she will be a valuable asset to the team and I'm looking forward to working with her."

Cuthbert's move to Celtic is a blow to Chelsea, who are already without several key players due to injury.

However, it is a great opportunity for the player to get regular game time and continue her development.

Cuthbert is a talented player with a bright future and she will be hoping to make a big impact at Celtic.
