CHAMPIONS League winners Lyon bolstered their attack yesterday with the signing of the FWA Women’s Footballer of the Year, Nikita Parris.

The ex-Manchester City attacker made clear earlier this month that she was leaving after four years at the club.

Helping the club to a domestic cup double this season, the 25-year-old felt it was time for her to “kick on” and test herself in a side that has won four Champions League trophies in a row.
