Earps called time on her five-year stint at Manchester United this summer after she let her contract expire with the Red Devils.

Speaking to Boulleau on PSG social media, she was asked why she chose to join PSG. "A new challenge," Earps said. "I want to win trophies and I feel that the ambition and the vision that PSG have, we're in a good position. The team is already really good, so hopefully I can add to and help the team. I want to be competitive. I've been in England for a long time. I wanted to come out of my comfort zone and then hopefully learn and develop more."
When asked if she was going to learn French, she said: "I do want to speak French. I need to learn. I'm very intense, I'm very serious. And I want to help the team win. I'll do anything to win."
WHAT NEXT FOR EARPS?
The Lionesses goalkeeper could make her PSG debut later this week when Les Parsiennes take on Paris FC on August 10 in their second friendly of the preseason.
