London City Lionesses set to sign midfielder Marcetto

London City Lionesses are set to sign Denmark midfielder Malou Marcetto on a permanent deal from Madrid CFF.

The 22-year-old has represented her country at youth level, including 10 appearances for the under-23s, and been a target for the Women’s Super League side for a while.

It is believed London City originally hoped to bring her in when her contract expired in the summer, but have been able to finalise a deal in this window for a small fee.

The club, who are currently sixth in the WSL standings, believes Marcetto brings high potential to the squad and provides added first-team competition.

Having recently appointed Spanish manager Eder Maestre, Liga F has become a familiar hunting ground and Marcetto is a player they hope to develop for the future.

London City’s transfer policy this year has been to build a squad with a mixture of high-potential young talent and a sprinkling of big-name stars.
