OFFICIAL announcement made as striker delighted with move to Liverpool

The LIVERPOOL FC Women have now signed Norwegian striker Sophie Roman Haug for an undisclosed fee

The Reds brought in Haug from Roma in a transfer of an undisclosed fee and made her the seventh signing of the summer.

WHAT HAS BEEN SAID – 

“I’m really excited to be here and I can’t wait to get started,” said Haug after being announced by the club.

“I feel like it was the right next step for me. I got a really good impression of the club and I believe they’re building something big here and I would really like to be a part of it. It’s a club with a lot of long traditions and with a lot of ambition. I really hope this season to be able to contribute with a lot of goals and I have a lot of faith that the team will do a great season.

“I’m excited to be able to play in what could be the biggest league in the world too. If we get off to a good start and get momentum, we’re going to be a tough team to beat.”

“It was my first World Cup, it didn’t go quite as we hoped, but for me personally as an experience it was very important and it’s one I’ll take on and use ahead. For me to be able to contribute with three goals was a big experience which I’m really proud of.”

Manager Matt Beard revealed that the striker was a player LIVERPOOL have been tracking for quite some time: “Sophie’s a player we’ve been monitoring for a few years now, even back to her time in Norway.” She’s a fantastic goalscorer, her movement in the box is good and she can score all types of goals.

“She obviously had a really good World Cup, coming on the back of being at Roma and being part of a team which won the league. At 24, I think we’re getting Sophie at a really good time and she’s just what we needed – a proven goalscorer who is still hungry to continue to develop and progress her game.”
