The Spaniard told Liverpoolfc.com: "It's a pleasure to be here. I know that this is a big club and also I hear the love from outside about this big club, so it's a pleasure to be coming here.

"I'm so happy and I'm so excited. I'm looking forward to meeting all of the supporters and I will give 100 per cent always."

Bernabe has one cap for Spain's national team to date – which came in November 2022 – and was also a Women's U17 European Championship winner with her country back in 2018.

She became a Chelsea player in the summer of 2023 from Atletico Madrid and immediately headed out on loan to Real Sociedad, where she had spent the 2022-23 season.

The 23-year-old, who gained Women's Champions League experience with Sociedad and Atletico, began her career in Spain's top flight with Madrid CFF.

During her first interview as a Red, she added: "I'm the type of person who gives a lot of energy. I'm aggressive on the pitch and I like to attack and defend.

"I like to run a lot and I can be aggressive. I play left-back so I have to run a lot. I always try to give 100 per cent, be aggressive and I like to get crosses into the box.

"We want to be nearer the teams at the top of the table. I know last season the team did very well to finish in the top four, so we need to play in every moment 100 per cent."
