London City Lionesses have signed Spanish youth international Daniela Arques from Sporting, subject to international clearance.
The 20-year-old joins on a three-year deal and adds to a strong Spanish contingent at London City.
As part of an ambitious summer transfer window, London City have signed Spanish two-time Ballon d’Or winner Alexia Putellas and ex-Barcelona defender Mapi Leon.
Arques links up with London City’s Spanish boss Eder Maestre after a strong campaign in Portugal where she played 32 games and became a key player.
“I’m really excited to be joining London City and can’t wait to get started,” said Arques.
“Coming to the UK to play in the WSL is a brilliant opportunity and I’m looking forward to developing as a player and as a person.
“Being surrounded by experienced players and learning from them every day is something I’m really excited about.”
Arques was part of the Spain U19s squad who clinched back-to-back European titles in 2024 and 2025, before graduating to the U20s set-up.
She began her career at Athletic Club de Murcia before spells at Alhama and Levante in Spain’s top division.
