London City Lionesses set to sign France forward Kadidiatou Diani

London City Lionesses are set to sign France forward Kadidiatou Diani for a fee exceeding £500,000.

The 31-year-old announced her departure from European giants Lyon on Monday despite a year remaining on her contract.

It is understood London City have been in advanced discussions for several weeks and have beaten competition from other European clubs for her signature.

BBC Sport previously reported that London City hoped to add a forward to join star arrivals Alexia Putellas, Mapi Leon and Mary Earps this summer.

Diani spent three seasons at Lyon after moving from Paris St-Germain in 2023 and scored 41 goals in 93 appearances.

At PSG, Diani won two French cups and a league title but she missed out on Women’s Champions League success with Lyon, losing twice in the final.

She suffered a knee injury in the semi-finals which meant she missed the European final this year as Barcelona beat Lyon 2-0.

The forward has over 100 appearances for France and was the second-highest scorer at the 2023 Women’s World Cup.

She will be reunited with London City owner Michele Kang, who also owns Lyon, as well as American club Washington Spirit.

London City finished sixth in their debut campaign in the Women’s Super League and have had an impressive transfer window so far.
