The 18-year-old joins the Blues from FC Rosengard and has signed a contract until 2025.

“It feels amazing to be here,” Bennison told the club’s official website.

“I’m still young, I need to learn a lot, and I think this is the perfect environment for me to grow.

“I like the league in England and we have a very good manager in Willie Kirk. I’ve spoken to him, and the way sees my game is the way see myself.

“I think Everton has something big happening – we have a really good squad with a lot of good players.

“I know the Club wants to play in the Champions League. That’s one of my goals, too, and I hope I can help the team reach that.”

A creative midfielder, Bennison is considered one of the most promising youngsters in women’s football and was recently part of the Sweden squad which won silver at the Tokyo Olympics.

Earlier this year, she won the prestigious Goal NXGN Award for the best young female footballer in the world.
