Amid a flurry of new signings, Manchester City have today announced the signing of Leila Ouahabi. The 29-year-old left-back joins the Blues on a two-year deal.

The Spanish international joins the Sky Blues from Barcelona where she has spent the past 6 years since rejoining the Spanish giants from Valencia.

With Gareth Taylor’s side pushing for silverware in 4 competitions this season, the signing of seasoned internationals such as Leila could prove crucial in providing some much-needed squad depth.
