Crystal Palace have moved quickly to strengthen their squad ahead of the new Women's Super League season, agreeing a deal for American midfielder Sierra Enge from French club Strasbourg. The 26-year-old has signed a two-year contract with the Eagles and becomes manager Jo Potter's first acquisition since Palace earned promotion back to the top flight.

Enge expressed her excitement at joining the south London side, describing the WSL as 'the best league in the world' and praising Palace's facilities. The midfielder brings international experience, having been capped at United States Under-23 level before her professional career took her to France via the NWSL draft system. Her arrival signals Palace's intent to compete rather than simply survive among England's elite.

During her two seasons in France, Enge established herself as a reliable presence in midfield, helping Strasbourg secure mid-table finishes in the top division. Manager Potter believes she 'adds real quality and depth' to Palace's engine room as they prepare for life in the Women's Super League. This signing demonstrates the club's ambition to establish themselves among the established order.
