Everton have completed the signing of France under-23 international Noémie Mouchon on a free transfer from Leicester City. The 23-year-old forward becomes the latest addition to the Merseyside club’s squad as they prepare for the upcoming Women’s Super League campaign.
Mouchon arrives at Everton following Leicester City’s relegation from the top flight, which made the French striker available without a transfer fee. The move represents a significant addition for the Toffees as they seek to strengthen their attacking options ahead of the new term.
Competition for signature
The acquisition did not come without competition from other clubs. Everton’s technical director Nick Cox confirmed that several teams had expressed interest in the player, making her decision to join the Merseyside outfit particularly satisfying for the club.
“We are really pleased to strengthen our attacking options with the signing of Noémie,” Cox stated. “Unsurprisingly for a player of her talent, she was wanted by other clubs but was keen to sign for Everton and help us to progress.”
Player targets goals
Mouchon has set clear personal targets for her time at Everton, emphasizing her desire to find the net regularly. Speaking to the club’s official website, the forward said: “I am a fast player and I love to score goals, so I can’t wait. I just want to score a lot with Everton. That’s my only objective.”
Her pace and attacking instincts are expected to provide valuable support to Everton’s forward line. The French youth international brings directness and a clear goal-scoring mentality to the squad as they look to climb the Women’s Super League table.
The transfer marks a fresh start for Mouchon following Leicester’s demotion, offering her the opportunity to continue playing top-flight football in England. With the new season approaching, Everton will hope her arrival proves decisive as they aim to improve their competitive standing and offensive output in the division.
