French international Kelly Gago to sign for England

Departure is imminent! Kelly Gago, FC Nantes' top scorer this season with 2 goals, could leave France earlier than expected. Absent from the match against Lyon on Saturday (5-1), the 25-year-old striker is expected in England to undergo her medical examination this Monday, December 16 and sign a two-year contract, plus an optional year, Ouest-France learns. However, the name of his future club has not yet been confirmed. According to Jacky Soulard, president of the women's section, “the club in question asked us not to have her play in Lyon to avoid an injury. It's practically done, we have to finalize that this Monday.”

One team seems to stand out

Several clubs, including Brighton, Leicester, Manchester City and Spanish sides like Levante and Alavés, have reportedly expressed interest in the French neo-international in recent times. However, Everton seems to be in pole position to recruit the striker, whose transfer could be around 50,000 euros, a record sum for the women's section of FC Nantes. Furthermore, the club will now have to focus on replacing her, with priority given to the arrival of a new attacker, or even a left defender, as Jacky Soulard indicated: “We are on one or two avenues , I hope it will come to fruition before the start of the return matches.” After eleven days of championship in the Arkema Premier League, the promoted Nantes occupies eighth place in the standings, with a cushion of 7 points on the first relegation, Le Havre.
