• Netherlands striker says move was ‘easy choice’
• New manager Gareth Taylor salutes ‘top talent’

Manchester City have signed the WSL’s all-time leading goalscorer Vivianne Miedema, who says she has chosen the club specifically because she wants to “win the league”.

The 27-year-old Netherlands striker, who is also her country’s record goalscorer, has moved on a free transfer after the end of her contract at Arsenal and has signed a three-year deal.

• Acquisition is huge coup for south coast club

The England forward Fran Kirby says she “still has so much more to give” and wanted to stay in the WSL, after signing for Brighton on a free transfer following the expiry of her contract at Chelsea.

The 31-year-old, who helped Chelsea win all seven of their WSL titles, also says hearing of the passion for women’s football among Brighton’s board was a key factor in her decision.
