"The women's transfer window is closed until January and there have been some big moves this summer. As if one world record wasn't enough when Olivia Smith went to Arsenal for $1.4 million, we saw London City Lionesses land midfielder Grace Geyoro from Paris Saint-Germain for $1.9m on Women's Super League (WSL) deadline day. Alyssa Thompson's $1.5m move from Angel City FC to Chelsea was also huge, but clubs didn't always need to spend a lot of money to get themselves a good deal."
"Yohannes has been one of the most sought after talents in women's football since bursting on to the scene at Ajax as a 16-year-old in November 2023, becoming the youngest player ever to start a UEFA Women's Champions League group stage match. Despite offers from multiple clubs, including Chelsea, the United States star decided to join French champions OL Lyonnes for a fee of around €450k ($526k) and she will add midfield depth for Jonathan Giraldez's side."
"Yohannes is a technically gifted midfielder, blessed with excellent vision and variety in her passing. She likes to go high risk/high reward, frequently disrupting the opposition's shape, and a standout quality is the release time on her passes. Her calculated touches and dynamic positioning allow her time to choose an option, and she consistently makes herself available to receive the ball during progression phases."
