Man City Women's Yui Hasegawa signs new contract

"I am extremely happy. I couldn't be happier," she told the club website.

"One of the biggest reasons I've extended is the football style. I love our style. I want to win the league, Champions League and Cup, that's why I decided to stay here.

"We've improved this year and we have built up a lot. I'm so excited because we have a chance to win the league and the cup. I really want to win the league. I want to play in the Champions League, and I want to win it with City.

"The people are nice, the football is good, I'm so happy to be here!"

Head coach Gareth Taylor added: "We're really pleased that Yui has extended her stay with the Club.

"She's been top class from the minute she's come here. She does so much without the ball, her anticipation is second-to-none and her quality under pressure is very high.

"The impact she has had on and off the pitch is clear to see and we are very happy that Yui will be here until 2027.

"She's a great girl to work with who has been massively accepted by the rest of the group and is really popular, and we're looking forward to seeing what more she can achieve here at City. She's an incredible talent."
