Manchester City have signed Switzerland international attacker Iman Beney from BSC YB Frauen.

She helped BSC Young Boys Frauen win the Swiss league title last term with nine goals in 22 appearances, making the Super League Team of the Season.

An ACL injury caused her to miss out on the 2023 World Cup when aged just 16 but she is now a regular in the national team, often playing as a right wing-back.

Iman told mancity.com: “I’m very happy to be here and I can’t wait to start the new season with Manchester City. I had a good feeling with Therese [Sjogran], and I think City is the best solution to help develop me as a player.

“They have good ambition for next season, and, for my development, City is the best place. They are a club who like to keep possession, and I really like to have the ball, so I think it’s a good fit.

“I would also like to thank everyone at Young Boys who has helped me on my journey so far.”

Manchester City Women’s Director of Football Therese Sjogran added: “Iman is a player we’ve been monitoring for a while now and we’re delighted to bring her in.

“She’s a really exciting young talent who we believe has the potential to thrive here at City and on the world stage.

“From speaking to her it’s clear she’s keen to improve on her already impressive talents, and we think she’s a great fit for our squad on and off the pitch.

“She can become a really important player for City, both now and in the future.
