Subject to the 27-year-old passing a medical, everything has been agreed for the England midfielder to make the move when her contract expires with the Frauen Bundesliga club. Bayern Munich confirmed in January that Stanway would leave at the end of her deal, after four successful years in which she has helped Bayern win four Bundesliga titles."
