Leicester City has signed Belgium international Janice Cayman from Olympique Lyonnais, subject to league and international clearance, the Women’s Super League side said on Tuesday.

The 34-year-old joined Lyon in 2019, helping it to two Women’s Champions League trophies, three league titles and two French Cups.

“It’s a new country to play football for me, but maybe one of the biggest countries to play in,” Cayman told the club website.

“It will be a big challenge but it’s very exciting to be in a new league, to meet new teams and to just give it my all.”
