THE FUSE

Leon signs a three-year deal with the club, which will contest just its second season in the WSL in this upcoming campaign after winning promotion to the top-flight in 2025. Kang, who also owns Washington Spirit and eight-time European champions Lyon, took over the club midway through the 2023-24 season and has invested heavily in the project to propel it to the top table, and so it can now attract stars like Leon, Putellas and Earps as attention turns towards a first major trophy and European qualification, following a sixth-placed finish last year.
