‘There are no limits for this team’ – Jakobssonpublished at 16:05 British Summer Time
Sweden forward Sofia Jakobsson says “there are no limits” on what London City Lionesses can achieve after joining the club on a two-year deal.
“I think that would be the coolest thing I could do in my career, to bring up a team to the highest league and go from there,” Jakobsson told BBC Sport.
“It would be amazing to do that this year. There are no limits for this team.”
Despite offers from elsewhere, Jakobsson was drawn to London City Lionesses due to the ambition shown by the club to develop women’s football.
“I felt this was a really interesting project, especially with Michele Kang as the owner,” said Jakobsson.
“It’s really interesting to be part of a club that is supporting women and wants to do something big. I have been on journeys like this before with Real Madrid and San Diego Wave, who were new teams.
