The window has gone crazy!' Women's world transfer record broken for the third time in two months by massive WSL fee

"Newly promoted London City Lionesses have made a number of statement signings as they embark on their first season in the top tier under French head coach Jocelyn Precheur. England international Nikita Parris, Dutch midfielder Danielle van de Donk and Spain defender Jana Fernandez are among the new recruits at a club that already boasted 200-cap Sweden icon Kosovare Asllani."

"The Lionesses, who play at Bromley's Hayes Lane ground, spent a reported 433,000 to bring Spanish forward Lucia Corrales to England earlier on deadline day. But they saved the biggest until last to become the third team in two months to break the world transfer record. The London club parted with a record fee of 1.43m to acquire Grace Geyoro, the French midfielder, from Paris Saint-Germain."

"Geyoro, 28, is one of the most admired players in the women's game. She played professionally for PSG for more than a decade and has represented France on more than 100 occasions. The financial firepower behind the Lionesses' promotion and summer spending spree is Michele Kang, who is also the president of Lyon and the majority owner of their celebrated women's team, as well as the majority owner of Washington Spirit of the NWSL."
