Paulina Nyström joins LCFC Women from BK Häcken
Forward signs a two-year contract at King Power Stadium
The 25-year-old is a Finland international
The 25-year-old Finland international joins us for an undisclosed fee and signs a two-year contract at King Power Stadium.
Speaking to LCFC.com, Paulina said: "Leicester is an amazing Club and it's an honour to be here. This will be a fun adventure, and I hope to contribute with the things I'm good at.
"I play with a lot of power, and I will try to bring that as much as possible. I have a lot of experience and want to perform well to help the team."
A native of Gothenburg, Sweden, Paulina began her career in the Swedish regional leagues before joining top tier Damallsvenskan outfit Vittsjö GIK in 2019.
Back-to-back loan spells with Lörby IF and Eskilstuna United followed prior to a permanent return to Eskilstuna in 2019 in a spell that returned 10 goals and two assists in 26 league games.
The 2023/24 campaign saw Paulina link up with Serie A side Juventus and she would go on to make 23 appearances in all competitions for the Italian Black and Whites.
A return to the Damallsvenskan league followed for Paulina with BK Häcken one year later. A rewarding term, the striker was part of the squad that led Häcken to UEFA Women's Europa Cup glory with a 4-2 victory over Hammarby IF in 2026.
She has now linked up with the squad at Belvoir Drive and will join preparations for the upcoming Barclays Women’s Super League 2 season.
