Peng told chelseafc.com: ‘It feels so good to be here. When I was 10, I dreamed of playing for Chelsea. Now, my childhood dream has come true and it’s so exciting. I’m really happy to join the Chelsea family and get started.
‘It’s such a big club. Chelsea want to win titles and so do I. We’re a good match. I’m hungry to win here.’
She made her Champions League debut aged just 17 with FC Zurich, later moving to BK Hacken and then going out on loan to Levante in Spain.
Paul Green, head of women’s football at Chelsea, said: ‘Livia is a proactive and athletic goalkeeper who is comfortable with the ball at her feet. Out of possession, she protects the space behind her defenders and is strong in one-v-one-situations.
