Danish captain and four-time Bundesliga winner Pernille Harder has made the move from Wolfsburg to Chelsea – breaking records in the process.

Germany completed
In her time with the German champions, Harder was part of the team that won four back-to-back domestic doubles, finishing the 2019/20 league season undefeated. The forward finished top goalscorer on two occasions, with her 27-goal haul last season the highest in the division since 2010.

With Wolfsburg she won everything. Everything that is … except the Champions League. The defeat to Lyon in her final game meant another missed attempt at European glory.

London-bound
Chelsea were keen to get hold of Harder’s talents – opting to pay a transfer fee rather than wait for her contract to expire in 2021. The fee itself, reportedly in excess of 2.1 million kroner, is a new record for the women’s game.

For this amount of cash, Chelsea will be hoping that Harder will be a game-changer, and her track-record – 105 goals in 114 games at Wolfsburg – gives them no reason to doubt it.

The star agreed to a three-year contract with the London club and is available to start as early as Sunday – Chelsea face Manchester United in the first game of the Super League, as they look to defend their title.

Make your voice heard as an expat

In my last op-ed, I made the case that we, expats living in Denmark, need to step up if we want to tackle the headaches that seem baked into expat life—e.g., counterintuitive laws and endless paperwork. With almost 16% of Denmark’s population made up of internationals, we actually have the numbers to influence real change. But after publishing the last op-ed, several readers contacted me and asked: Okay, but what can we actually do?
