Lionesses star Mary Earps has revealed why she had advised any youthful England player to play abroad after moving to Paris Saint-Germain.
What happened?
Ermes secured an alternate transfer abroad last summer when she left Manchester United to join the French titans. The goalkeeper preliminarily spent a season in Germany with Wolfsburg, where she won the league and mug double.
Big Picture
Still, Earps remains in the nonage when it comes to English players abroad, commodity that has come rarer in both the men’s and women’s brigades over the once many times. That’s changing slightly, with the likes of Lucy Citation, Georgia Stanway and Keira Walsh all high- profile exemplifications of Lionesses passing the game beyond the Women’s Super League, and Earps believes this could be salutary for further players.
What did the areas say?
“I would largely recommend it”, she said of playing overseas at an event promoting the Chase Football Coaching Program.” I can not say enough about it. I suppose the capability to push yourself out of your comfort zone is obviously veritably scary, veritably grueling, and surely not easy to do. But I suppose it teaches you a lot about yourself as an athlete, but also as a person. It helps you produce long-lasting recollections and effects that you will be allowing about for numerous, numerous times to come.”
“I am enjoying it at the moment being at PSG, and hopefully you see more and more English players going abroad. You have seen it a lot in recent times, Bronzie has done it a number of times, Georgia Stanway, Keira, to name a few. I would really encourage it.”
Do you know?
It is not just Europe that is proving seductive to England players. Last summer, three Lionesses moved to the United States for new chapters in their careers, with Jess Carter joining Gotham, Esme Morgan subscribing for the Washington Spirit and Katie Zelem moving to Angel City. Anna Moorhouse, who has come the regular third-choice goalkeeper in Sarina Wiegman’s recent brigades, also plays in the NWSL with the Orlando Pride.
What next for the Earps and England?
Earps hopes her new gests in Paris will help make her an indeed better goalkeeper and maybe give her commodity of an edge in the fierce competition she faces with Chelsea star Hannah Hampton to be England’s number one at this summer’s European Championship.
