Arriving in Lyon during the last transfer window, the 18-year-old American international, Lily Yohannes, has quickly established herself as one of the brightest prospects of her generation.
Integrating seamlessly into an experienced squad, the midfielder has proven herself a key player, actively contributing to the team’s performances in the Arkema Première Ligue and the UEFA Women’s Champions League, as evidenced by her recent goal against St. Pölten.
This award is presented annually by the Italian media outlet Tuttosport to the best European player under 21. Crowned in 2022 at the inaugural edition, Jule Brand could well see her teammate succeed her in the coming weeks. This nomination recognizes the young player’s daily work as well as the club’s commitment to training and supporting young talent in women’s football.
