Lily Yohannes has chosen to represent the United States at the international level. The midfielder announced the news of her decision on Monday afternoon. "I've received a lot of positive messages and I’m very grateful for that."
Lily Yohannes has chosen to represent the United States women's national team. The 17-year-old Ajax player was born on 12 June 2007 in Springfield, Virginia (United States), grew up there, and moved to the Netherlands when she was ten.
Former Ajax coach Erik ten Hag used to preach the adage 'old enough is good enough'. A motto that fits the club, where 'For the Future' is highly valued, like a glove. The fact that there is now another diamond rising, fits the vision of the Amsterdam-based club. Only sixteen years old, with a professional contract, debuts in the Eredivisie and UEFA Women's Champions League. Get to know Lily Yohannes in five (or six) pictures.
Ashleigh Weerden will leave the Ajax Women. The contract of the forward was expiring. She will leave the Ajax Women after two seasons for the English Crystal Palace.
