Where that will take London City is something Putellas is clearly fascinated to learn, as she prepares to experience the WSL for the first time. It\u2019s hard to argue that she is not the biggest signing in the history of the division. Already widely regarded as the best league in Europe, if not the world, the WSL’s reputation has only been enhanced this summer by the arrivals of so many notable players, but the two-time Ballon d\u2019Or winner, <\/span>who looks primed to collect a third later this year<\/span>, is top of the list.<\/span><\/p>\n Amid rumoured interest from clubs all over the world, it was the WSL that she chose as the destination for the next chapter in her illustrious career. Why? Well, there is the appeal of the all-round competitiveness, something that the other top leagues in Europe cannot match. \u201cYou never know what the result of the game will be,\u201d Putellas notes. \u201cWe haven’t started yet but if I have to imagine, all the games will push you to your limits.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n That feeds into something else Putellas is after. Despite all the accolades, one of her key motivations in moving to England was \u201cimproving myself as a footballer\u201d, a comment that raises a fair few eyebrows as she makes it, given <\/span>her world-class level<\/span>. Indeed, when asked if she really believes she can still get better, Putellas\u2019 reply comes with a slight chuckle, as if it\u2019s strange to think otherwise. \u201cOf course. Always,\u201d she says. \u201cDay after day, I want to learn things. That\u2019s the way I see this job. Just keep going, never stop and be as good as I can.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n It\u2019s quite a prospect, really, and one that will excite London City, intrigue fans of the WSL and frighten the other 13 teams in this league. Whether it results in Putellas\u2019 new club being a serious factor at the top of the division come May, only time will tell. \u201cI’m going to bring to the project whatever the project needs from me,\u201d she affirms. \u201cI’m 100% committed. I’m hungry to win, I’m hungry to be better day after day, to fight with my team-mates for the victory. I’m going to try to give my best to the team and let’s see at the end of the season how good we were.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Where that will take London City is something Putellas is clearly fascinated to learn, as…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":23025,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-23024","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sport"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23024","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=23024"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23024\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/23025"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=23024"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=23024"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=23024"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
