Tuesday

London City Lionesses are set to sign France forward Kadidiatou Diani from Lyon for a fee above £500,000. The 31-year-old announced her Lyon departure despite one year remaining on her contract and is nearing a WSL move.

London City have beaten other European clubs after weeks of talks, adding another major name after Alexia Putellas, Mapi Leon and Mary Earps. Diani would reunite with owner Michele Kang, who also owns Lyon and Washington Spirit.
