Manchester City have signed US World Cup winner Abby Dahlkemper on a two-and-a-half-year deal.

She won the NWSL title three times in four seasons.
Dahlkemper, who won the first of her 62 USA caps in 2016, links up with two international team-mates in Sam Mewis and Rose Lavelle.
City, the 2016 Women's Super League champions, have been runners-up for the past three seasons.
They currently sit fourth in the table, eight points behind local rivals Manchester United, but with a game in hand.
