France's all-time top scorer Le Sommer joins Toluca after Lyon exit
TOLUCA, Mexico (AP) — France all-time leading scorer Eugenie Le Sommer has signed a contract to play for Mexican club Toluca, where she will reunite with former Lyon coach Patrice Lair.
The 36-year-old forward parted ways with Lyon in May after 15 seasons and wasn't chosen for the national team for the Women's European Championship.
Toluca, located near Mexico City, said late Friday that Le Sommer has joined for the upcoming Liga MX Apertura season.
Le Sommer's former France and Lyon teammate Amandine Henry also plays for Toluca. The defensive midfielder joined last year.
Le Sommer has scored 94 international goals in 200 appearances for France. She posted a broken heart emoji on her Instagram page when she wasn’t selected for the Euro 2025 squad.
