Lucy Bronze says she has decided where club future lies and says she is fully focused on trying to help England win Euro 2022.

The defender told Sky Sports News last week that a decision on her club future had been made – and now her focus is fully on England going into this summer’s European Championships on home soil.

Bronze will link up with Barcelona after the tournament, with the Spanish giants recording an unblemished league record last season by winning all 30 of their matches to romp to the title.

The Catalan club scored 159 goals to win the league but fell short in the Champions League final – losing 3-1 to Lyon, who Bronze represented for three years between 2017 and 2020.
