5. Fran Kirby
Fran Kirby is an elite forward who's been a significant part of Chelsea's success. She has won five WSL titles and formed one of the most deadly football partnerships with Sam Kerr up front. She earned Team of the Year honours twice and was the WSL Player of the Year in 2020-21.
Chelsea dropped six goals on Servette FCCF in the first half of their Women's Champions League game 😳

4. Steph Houghton
Steph Houghton transformed herself into one of the most consistent WSL players and centre-backs of all-time. She started off as a striker at Sunderland before moving into midfielder and later into defence. At Arsenal she won the WSL twice before moving to Manchester City and winning another title in 2016. Houghton is also one of the best in the WSL at taking free-kicks.
Steph Houghton + free-kicks = 🤩🤩🤩

Excellent post, Viviane got a statue at the Emirates for the north London derby, Excellent player
Great to see some posts calling out the best female players. Well done.
Oh my Viv 😍. I've always found solace in her feat since the men have refused to give us anything to cheer until now 😂. While they're doing great domestically, I believe she and her colleagues still have all the hard work to put in on the continent to match the likes of Barcelona, Lyon, Wolfsburg.
