Leicester sign winger Chossenotte from Reims

Leicester have signed France youth international winger Shana Chossenotte from Reims.

The 19-year-old has signed a three-year contract with the Women's Super League side.

Chossenotte made 37 appearances for Reims after making her debut during the 2021-21 season.

“I am very happy to have signed for Leicester and I can’t wait to get started on the pitch with the team," said Chossenotte, who has been capped by France from under-17 to under-20 level.

“It’s always been an aim to play in this league as it is one of the best. I’m sure it’s a dream for every professional footballer to play in this league.

"Leicester seemed right for me because I can relate to the work they’re doing here."

Chossenotte played at Reims under Amandine Miquel, who was appointed Leicester manager on 15 July.

She is Leicester's sixth signing of the summer after the arrivals of former Reims team-mate Noemie Mouchon, Tottenham defender Asmita Ale, Jamaica midfielder Chantelle Swaby, Belgium defender Sari Kees and Manchester City midfielder Ruby Mace.

Miquel's side, who finished 10th in the WSL last season, begin the new campaign at Liverpool on 22 September.
