The midfielder made 20 appearances for the Merseyside club in last season’s Barclays Women’s Super League. The player boasts an impressive CV which includes spells with Paris Saint-Germain and Lyon.

On the international stage, Dali has 45 senior international caps for France while she has scored nine goals. She was a member of French head coach Corinne Diacre’s 23-player squad which reached the semi-finals of this summer’s UEFA Women’s EURO.

After adding Dali to her squad, Aston Villa boss Carla Ward said “To bring in someone of Kenza’s calibre is a sign of the direction this football club wants to go in.

“She has a wealth of experience, domestically and internationally. She will bring a huge amount of quality to this team.”
