JuttaRantala

Everton have signed forward Jutta Rantala from Leicester City after triggering a release clause for the Finland international.

The 26-year-old becomes the Blues’ sixth signing of the summer transfer window following the arrivals of fellow forwards and ex-Foxes teammates Noémie Mouchon and Hannah Cain, attackers Zara Kramžar and Holly McNamara, and defender Hannah Blundell.

Leicester’s 2023/24 Player of the Season in her maiden campaign with the club, Rantala brings goalscoring and technical abilities to Scott Phelan’s Toffees, along with versatility at being able to play across the front three and in the No.10 role.
