England left-back Alex Greenwood joined Manchester City from European champions Lyon because she believes the club "wants to win big things, including the Champions League".

Greenwood, 27, has signed a three-year deal after spending one season with the French side, helping them win a fifth Champions League title in a row.

She joins on a free transfer following the end of her contract at Lyon.

New addition Alex Greenwood says Manchester City " a massively ambitious club,...can't wait" ⬇

.@AlexGreenwood 💬 I can't wait. I've been here for the last week and it's been everything I expected - a massively ambitious club.

It was a no-brainer when it came to joining.

The former Manchester United captain is City's fifth signing of the summer.

"I want to continue what Manchester City have done previously and that's to be successful and win trophies," Greenwood told BBC Sport.

"Once you get a taste of winning a trophy like the Champions League, which is the pinnacle, it's something that you crave. That feeling you have after you win is addictive.

"You want it more and more and more. That's why I chose to come to this club. If I can play a small part in that, then it will be fantastic."
