​DONE DEAL: Parris leaves Man City women for Lyon berth

England forward Nikita Parris has joined Women's Champions League winners Lyon after leaving Manchester City, reports BBC Sport.

The 25 year old said this month that she would be leaving City when her contract expired this summer.

She was named the Football Writers' Association's Women's Footballer of the Year and helped the club to the FA Cup and League Cup this season.

Lyon won the Champions League for a fourth successive season with a 4-1 win over Barcelona.

Parris' England team-mate Lucy Bronze left City for Lyon in August 2017.
