Brighton have signed England forward Nikita Parris from Manchester United on a permanent deal. Parris, who was United's top scorer last season and part of England's Euro 2022 winning squad, joined United from Arsenal in August 2022 and scored 25 goals in 57 appearances. Brighton's head coach Dario Vidosic expressed excitement about the acquisition, highlighting Parris' experience and goal-scoring ability. United had extended her contract earlier this summer to ensure a transfer fee would be required. Parris' move signals Brighton's ambition in the Women's Super League, complementing their recent signings of Fran Kirby and Jelena Cankovic. She is expected to start working with Brighton ahead of their first WSL game against Everton.
