Newcastle United Women have signed Finland international forward Oona Sevenius from Swedish side FC Rosengard.
She represented Finland at this summer’s UEFA Women’s Euros, after joining Rosengard from AC Milan in January and scoring five times in 17 appearances last season.
Sevenius told newcastleunited.com: “I’m really excited, and it’s great to be here. I just can’t wait to get started.
“I have a strong willingness to make a difference, I want to win more than anything, and I’m always working very hard.
“This is a very historic club, a great shirt to wear, and I’m very happy to now have it on. I want to get used to this beautiful city and can’t wait to get the season started because the games are what it’s all about.”
Manager Becky Langley said: “Oona is a brilliant addition to our group. At 21, she has already proven that she is able to perform at a top level and showed that for Finland at the Euros this summer.
“She is an explosive forward with physical presence and she has the ability to link the play under pressure and create in advanced areas. We look forward to working with her.”
