Niamh Charles, Manchester City, Chelsea, Sarina Wiegman
11 June 2026
Manchester City have agreed a deal to sign England defender Niamh Charles from Chelsea. The left-back is set to leave after six years, 173 appearances and a trophy-heavy spell including five Women’s Super League titles.
City want extra depth after winning their first WSL title in a decade and are also expected to add Beth Mead. Charles’ move could boost her playing time before next year’s Women’s World Cup.
