Gareth Taylor’s widely anticipated reconstruction of Manchester City Women has begun with the recruitment of the Venezuela international Deyna Castellanos from Atlético Madrid.
The 23-year-old striker is expected to be the first of several summer signings at the Etihad campus and will officially join Taylor’s squad on 1 July. Castellanos comes through City’s currently revolving door trailing an impressive CV. In just over two seasons in Spain, a player who will wear the No 10 shirt in Manchester scored 26 goals in 71 appearances, while internationally she captains her country and has 12 goals from 25 games.
