Brighton Women are working on a deal to sign midfielder Lia Walti from Juventus. The 33-year-old has undertaken a medical and negotiations between the clubs continue to progress positively.

What happened?

Lia Walti is set to return to the Women's Super League after spending time at Juventus. She won the Supercoppa Italiana and the maiden Serie A Women's Cup under head coach Massimiliano Canzi.

Why it matters for Brighton Women

Walti would bring significant experience and leadership to Dario Vidosic's side. The Switzerland captain has over 120 international caps and is a natural leader on and off the pitch.

What comes next?

The move would represent another statement of intent from Brighton as they look to establish themselves among the WSL's leading clubs. The club recently unveiled plans for a purpose-built women's stadium.
