Everton have signed Denmark internationals Rikke Madsen and Kathrine Kuhl.

Forward Madsen, 26, joins from North Carolina Courage until June 2025, while Arsenal midfielder Kuhl, 20, arrives on loan until the end of this season.

"I'm so happy to be here. I've been eager to get to this club and to play in this league," Madsen told evertontv.

Kuhl worked with Everton manager Brian Sorensen at FC Nordsjaelland in Denmark before joining Arsenal last year.

"Brian helped me a lot moving from youth football to going to the senior team," said Kuhl, who has scored one goal in 23 games for Arsenal.

"He really helped me develop when I was in my younger years. He has been a big part of my journey so far and I'm looking forward to be working with him again."

Everton, who are seventh in the Women's Super League, travel to Aston Villa in the fourth round of the Women's FA Cup on Saturday.
