The 24-year-old national team goalkeeper had just over a year left on his contract with Eskilstuna United.

After only half a season at the club, it is now clear that Emma Holmgren will leave the table five.

The French big club Lyon has bought the 24-year-old, which is confirmed on the club's website.

- I am grateful for my time at United.

Even though it was a shorter time than expected, I bring lots of experience with me.

I am very happy about the opportunity to go to Lyon and that United supports me in that, says Holmgren to the club's site.

Lyon have won seven Champions League titles and dominated French league football.

- It was great fun when I heard that they were interested and wanted me.

Since then, it has been a stressful period when you did not know what would happen.

But now it feels good.

I will get to play and train with some of the world's best players, which will develop me as a person and football player, she says to Sportbladet.
