\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cLondon City is the only independent women\u2019s club in the WSL, which excites me.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cEngland \u2013 for men and women \u2013 is the country of football.\u00a0It\u2019s\u00a0always been a goal of mine to play in this league.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cShe is a dribbler who can take on players in one-vs-one situations, and she will be\u00a0very powerful\u00a0on the wing.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cEverybody can see how good she is when she plays, and I want that warrior-like and winning mentality\u00a0off\u00a0the pitch too, to help us reach our goals.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cShe has won six Champions League\u2019s, so she has the ambitions and the\u00a0know-how\u00a0to win, on and off the pitch. She will help us reach the goals we want to get to.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
