London City Lionesses have signed France forward Kadidiatou Diani on a three-year deal from Olympique Lyonnais, the Women's Super League club said on Wednesday, marking their fourth major signing of the summer.
She is the latest marquee addition to London City Lionesses' squad following the arrivals of goalkeeper Mary Earps from Paris Saint-Germain, Barcelona defender Mapi Leon and two-time Ballon d'Or winner Alexia Putellas.
The Lionesses secured promotion to the WSL in 2025 and remain the only fully independent club in the English top flight, operating without affiliation to a men's team.
The 31-year-old Diani arrives after a successful spell with the French side helping Lyon reach the Women's Champions League final last season.
Diani began her senior career at Paris FC, where she made 38 appearances across two seasons, before spending six years at Paris Saint-Germain. She remains the club's third-highest scorer of all time with 92 goals.
A France international, Diani has represented her country at multiple Women's World Cups and won the Silver Boot at the 2023 tournament.
