Leicester City Women are reported to have completed the signing of Finland international Paulina Nystrom from BK Hacken on a two-year contract.

According to Ben Jacobs, the forward has agreed terms on a deal covering the next two seasons, with the move framed as a done signing rather than an ongoing negotiation. There has been no official confirmation from Leicester at the time of writing.

Nystrom’s arrival would add another option in attack for Leicester’s women’s side. While the report does not include further details, her international experience with Finland suggests she could offer versatility and depth across the frontline.

No transfer fee or additional contract clauses are mentioned in the report. Any medical, registration or international clearance requirements are not referenced either, so the exact timeline for when she might be available to feature remains to be seen until the club provides formal updates.

Leicester City Women’s next steps will likely include announcing the signing if and when all formalities are completed. For now, the reporting points to Nystrom becoming the latest addition to their squad from Swedish side BK Hacken.
