Liverpool midfielder Sofie Lundgaard has completed a permanent transfer to Eintracht Frankfurt for an undisclosed fee.

The 24-year-old joined Liverpool in January 2023 and made 42 appearances during an injury-hit spell.

Lundgaard suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury and fractured ankle during her three-and-a-half years at the club, limiting her game time in recent seasons.

She joins Frankfurt in the Frauen-Bundesliga having previously played for Danish club Fortuna Hjorring.

Elsewhere in the Women's Super League, it is understood that Birmingham City have had an offer rejected by Sevilla for Gambia winger Fatou Kanteh.

Sources say the Blues offered around 100,000 Euros (£85,000) for Fatou but Sevilla value her much higher and do not wish to sell.

Birmingham are not expected to make another bid for the 29-year-old who has been playing in Liga F for her entire career.

Kanteh has scored 12 goals in 63 matches for Sevilla having previously played for Villarreal, Huelva and Logrono.
