Crystal Palace have completed the signing of Canadian international forward Clarissa Larisey on a two-and-a-half-year deal.

The Eagles announced the news via a post on their official club website this afternoon.

The 25-year-old joins the South Londoners from Swedish OBOS Damallsvenskan club BK Häcken. It has been reported that Crystal Palace have paid an undisclosed fee to secure the player’s services.

Larisey started her career in her native Canada with West Ottawa SC before joining Ottawa South United. The forward then moved into the European game with Icelandic club Valur before enjoying a spell in Scotland with Celtic. Larisey joined latest club BK Häcken in January 2023 and she has netted 13 goals in 40 league games for the Swedish club.

On the international stage, Larisey has made 10 appearances for Canada at senior level in which she has scored one goal.

After joining Crystal Palace, Larisey said “I got to talk to Laura [Kaminski] and to Grace [Williams] and it was great. They were super-excited and were telling me all about the programme and how great Palace is, so I couldn’t turn down this opportunity.

“I’m really excited to play here, play with the best – and play for Palace.”

Larisey is Crystal Palace’s first signing of the January transfer window.
