Aston Villa have signed the midfielder Missy Bo Kearns from their fellow WSL club Liverpool for an undisclosed fee. The Merseyside-born Kearns is a lifelong Liverpool fan and has been with the club since the age of eight and it is understood she said a tearful goodbye to her former teammates last Friday.
The 23-year-old England youth international received her first call-up to the Lionesses squad in May and, hoping to earn an England senior debut and a place at next summer’s European Championship, has decided to leave to start more matches.
