'Dahlkemper is an unbelievable addition' - Man City defender Houghton 'full of admiration' for USWNT star

Abby Dahlkemper has been an "unbelievable addition" for Manchester City, says captain Steph Houghton, who has added that she is "full of admiration" for her new defensive partner.

The USWNT international followed fellow 2019 World Cup winners Sam Mewis and Rose Lavelle to the Women's Super League outfit earlier this year, on a two-and-a-half year deal.

The 27-year-old has already established herself in fine form at the back for Gareth Taylor's side, as they continue to engage in a title tussle with Chelsea, and Houghton has now praised her ability to adapt to her new surroundings with such skill and aplomb.
