London City Lionesses and Alexia Putellas
Wednesday
London City Lionesses have signed two-time Ballon d’Or winner Alexia Putellas on a three-year deal after her Barcelona contract expired. The Spain midfielder joins one of the most ambitious women-only clubs in England after 14 trophy-laden years in Catalonia.
Putellas chose London City over rival offers, giving Michele Kang’s project a landmark signing and the WSL a major global name. The club expect her arrival to lift attendances, sponsorship appeal, academy standards and their push toward European qualification.
