Crystal Palace have secured the signature of Canada international forward Clarissa Larisey from Swedish club BK Häcken for an undisclosed fee.

Joining the Eagles on a contract until June 2027, Larisey scored 20 times in 65 appearances for Häcken and earlier netted 21 goals in 36 games in a spell with Celtic.

She scored her first goal for her country in October 2022 in a 4-0 friendly win against Morocco.

Larisey told cpfc.co.uk: “I got to talk to Laura [Kaminski] and to Grace [Williams], and it was great. They were super excited and were telling me all about the programme and how great Palace is, so I couldn’t turn down this opportunity.

“I’m really excited to play here, play with the best – and play for Palace.”

Head coach Laura Kaminski added: “Clarissa is a really exciting talent, and we’re delighted to have her join us. She brings great experience at a crucial time for the team.”
