Upon her arrival, Chelsea manager Emma Hayes labelled Ji So-Yun as “one of the best midfielders in the world” and the South Korean midfielder certainly lived up to expectations.
Starting her career with Japanese side INAC Kobe Leonessa, Ji went on to lift 3 league titles and an International Women’s Club Championship before signing for Chelsea in 2014. A PFA Women’s Players’ Player of the Year, 3 FA Women’s Super League titles and countless more trophies follow – making Ji one of the most decorated players in the game.
