Real Madrid complete signing of Sweden international Sofia Jakobsson

CD Tacon, soon to be Real Madrid’s women’s team, have announced Sofia Jakobsson as their fourth signing of the summer.

The 29-year-old played six of Sweden’s seven games at this year’s Women’s World Cup, scoring twice as they secured a third-placed finish – one of those strikes coming in the 2-1 Bronze medal match win over England.

The move sees Jakobsson leave Montpellier after five seasons with the French club, during which she scored 51 goals in 93 league games – plus a further four in their five Champions League outings in the 2017-18 season.
