Keira Walsh has formally handed in a transfer request to Manchester City Women, according to Sky sources.

Lyon and Atletico Madrid are believed to have placed formal bids that have been rejected by City.

Walsh's reputation was enhanced at the Women's World Cup, where she featured in five of England's six matches in France, including their semi-final defeat to USA on Monday.

That has led to the 22-year-old becoming a transfer target for some of the best women's teams in Europe, despite City completing the domestic cup double last season.
