Three‑year deal adds Spanish creativity to Lionesses midfield

A three‑year contract sees Spanish midfielder Daniela Arques join London City Lionesses, bolstering a midfield that has lacked depth ahead of the upcoming Women’s Super League season, the club announced this evening. The three‑year deal aims to provide fresh creative options as the side prepares for a demanding campaign.

WSL Full-Time received the club’s official press release from The Pride this evening, confirming the three‑year agreement. The announcement also verified that Daniela Arques has completed her move to London City Lionesses.

The signing directly addresses the squad’s need for fresh creative options as they prepare for a demanding campaign. London City Lionesses have struggled with limited midfield depth ahead of the new WSL season.

The 20‑year‑old midfielder spent the previous season with Sporting Clube de Portugal, appearing in 32 matches across all competitions and providing three assists. Her experience adds both match fitness and a creative spark to the Lionesses’ midfield.

Arques began her senior career with SMX Athletic Club de Murcia before moving to Alhama CF, later transferring to Levante UD and signing for Sporting in July. These successive moves have given her exposure to different playing styles in Spanish football.

Internationally, Arques has represented Spain at various youth levels, reaching the Under‑20 category and earning multiple caps across the age groups. Her international pedigree underscores her potential to influence games at the highest domestic level.

“I’m really excited to be joining London City and can’t wait to get started,” Arques said, adding that playing in the Women’s Super League is a brilliant opportunity and she looks forward to learning from experienced teammates and meeting supporters in Bromley. The midfielder emphasized the chance to develop alongside seasoned players and connect with fans in Bromley.

Arques becomes the eighth signing for London City Lionesses in this summer’s transfer window, bolstering midfield options and aiming to integrate quickly to help the team achieve a successful campaign. The addition reflects the club’s broader strategy of strengthening the squad ahead of a competitive WSL season.
