- LCFC Women confirm the signing of Luana Zajmi
- The 19-year-old joins the Foxes from ZNK Pomurje in Slovenia
- She has represented Slovenia at youth international level
The 19-year-old – a Slovenian youth international – teams up with the Foxes for their first-ever season in the Barclays FA Women’s Super League.
A versatile midfielder with UEFA Women’s Champions League experience, Zajmi enjoyed a successful 2020/21 campaign as she was part of the ZNK Pomurje side that won the Zenska Liga.
Speaking to LCFC TV, she said: “It’s just an incredible feeling signing for Leicester City. It’s always been a dream of mine to play abroad. To sign my first professional contract is just incredible.
“Women’s football, especially in England, is developing really fast and I think I’ll have a great chance to improve myself here.”
Internationally, she has represented Slovenia at Under-17 and Under-19 levels, earning 14 caps in total.
She will now link up with her new teammates ahead of this weekend’s WSL fixture away to West Ham United.
