Man City confirm signing of Barcelona captain Vicky Losada

Manchester City have made former Barcelona captain Vicky Losada their third new signing of the summer after teenage defender Ruby Mace and Jamaica striker Khadija Shaw.

Having lost United States midfielders Sam Mewis and Rose Lavelle at the end of last season, City are keen to strengthen their squad in order to wrestle WSL dominance away from Chelsea, and have now brought former Arsenal favourite Losada back to England.

Losada has signed a two-year contract at the Etihad Campus and will wear the number 17 shirt.

The 30-year-old Spain international recently ended a five-year stint at Barcelona - her third spell at the club where she started her career. It culminated in a historic Champions League triumph, sealing an impressive treble during a momentous season for the Spanish club.
