When Hanna Bennison signed for Everton in the summer of 2021, she did so in the knowledge that she would become the club’s record signing.
It was a weighty mantle to carry for the then 18-year-old, who was already being widely tipped to become one of the brightest talents in the women’s game. Bennison’s rapid rise to notoriety in her native Sweden is well-documented.

Less than two years later, she had won a place in the national side, introducing herself to the world in emphatic fashion with a phenomenal display against the USA.
