London City Lionesses sign Germany striker Anyomi

Germany forward Nicole Anyomi has joined London City Lionesses on a three-year contract.

She joins the London club after her contract expired at German side Eintracht Frankfurt, where she scored 60 goals in 130 appearances over five seasons.

Anyomi said she is relishing the challenge of playing in the Women’s Super League: “The WSL is fast and direct and there is a need to be more physical and to improve myself.”

The 26-year-old has 34 Germany caps, was part of the squad that reached the final of Euro 2022 and helped her country claim bronze at the 2024 Olympics.

Anyomi said she was excited by the club’s ambitions and the chance to play in England.

“I always wanted to play abroad and to have the offer from this club with their project means the world.

“My best friend is Shekiera Martinez, who was at West Ham and has now joined Tottenham. She has already told me about the league, London and about the country so I’m ready.”

Earlier this week, London City also announced defender Poppy Pattinson had signed a new contract.
