Roma Women have completed the signing of midfielder Andrine Hegerberg, who last played for Paris Saint-Germain.
The Norwegian is the elder sister of reigning Ballon D’Or holder Ada Hegerberg, and becomes the fifth signing of the summer for Betty Bavagnoli’s side so far.
Hegerberg, aged 26, has previously played for Birmingham City, as well as several Scandinavian sides, while she has 30 caps for Norway – although, like her sister, she has not played for them since 2017.
Hegerberg said via Twitter: “Finally I can tell you all that this season I have chosen to play for Roma.
“I cannot wait to meet you all and get started.”

Meanwhile, one midfielder on her way out will be Flaminia Simonetti, who has confirmed via Instagram that she is set for a new adventure. Reports have indicated that her departure will just be a loan.
She wrote: “I would like to thank sincerely all the people who have supported me and accompanied me in this long year.
“That with Roma is a love story that stops for a while.
“A new adventure awaits me, a new stimulus, a growth away from this city, which can allow me to prepare myself to face new challenges.”
Welcome, Andrine, and good luck, Flaminia.
