LTA Agency are pleased to announce signing a representation agreement with Danish striker Signe Bruun. 

Despite her young age, the 19-year-old Randers-born centre forward who currently plays for Fortuna Hjørring, has already achieved plenty of success. Recent runner-up of Danish top League (Elitedivisionen), Signe reached UEFA Women’s Champions League quarter finals 2016/17 making an appearance against reigning English Champions – Manchester City. The talented striker has already won the Danish League and Cup titles in 2015/16 season when she was named Fortuna Hjørring’s young player of the year.

Prior to her time in Hjørring, she played for IK Skovbakken, another Danish top division club.

The tall imposing striker has been capped by Denmark at Under-19, Under-17, and Under-16 levels becoming in 2014 the highest scoring player for Denmark U-17 National Team of all time.

Signe is the fourth Danish player represented by LTA Agency after Line Røddik Hansen, Sofie Junge Pedersen and Katrine Veje.

LTA Agency are delighted to welcome such a young talented player as Signe and look forward to a long and successful relationship.

LTA Agency strongly refutes a completely false story in Mundo Deportivo and some other media outlets that came out today about Vero Boquete. Neither Anton Maksimov (Vero’s official representative) nor Vero herself has ever spoken with the aforementioned publication.

Vero is contracted and fully committed to Paris Saint-Germain and is only concentrated on her club and preparation for the new and exciting 2017/18 season in Paris. Neither her agent nor Vero herself have spoken to any other clubs and strongly condemn any inventions by Mundo Deportivo and other media sources aiming to harm her professionalism and impeccable reputation.

Danish international midfielder, Katrine Veje has signed with Montpellier Hérault Sport Club (MHSC) of  French Division 1 where she will join Virginia Torrecilla and Linda Sembrant also represented by LTA.

Katrine (26) comes from 2017 Elitedivisionen winner Brøndby IF and brings with her a vast international experience. Three days ago she won the 2016-2017 Danish league after her club defeated KoldingQ 5-0 in the penultimate match of the season. Only a few weeks before that, it was the Danish Cup trophy that she lifted. This was Katrine’s second League title and her third Danish Women’s Cup title with Brøndby.

The talented left winger will next play for Denmark at the UEFA Euro Finals in the Netherlands this summer before linking up with MHSC squad for the next season’s French League and UEFA Women’s Champions League. Katrine is happy to be a part of this exciting adventure as she said at the signing in Montpellier.

LTA Agency wish Katrine a very good season in France and the best of luck at her new club.

The 30-year-old maestro has had a remarkable first season in France featuring in 33 matches, scoring 12 goals, and making more than 10 assists for PSG in all competitions. She played in both French Cup and UEFA Women’s Champions League Finals scoring in both during penalty shoot-outs and has also played as a starter in 21 out 22 League matches. The 2017 Cardiff Champions League final against Lyon was Vero’s incredible 3^rd Champions League final appearance in 4 years, and she was crowned champion with 1. FFC Frankfurt in Berlin two years ago.

In addition to being shortlisted for FIFpro Women’s World XI 2016, Vero has also previously been nominated for FIFA Ballon d’Or, named Best Midfielder in Sweden, and Most Valuable Player of various USA professional Leagues. The well-travelled technician has won titles in Germany, Sweden, the USA, and her native Spain.

Outspoken and known for her leadership qualities, Vero is undoubtedly the most celebrated Spanish female footballer of all times and is a great role model and reference for all the aspiring young female athletes in Spain and beyond. She is heavily involved in promotion of women’s football domestically and internationally as well as in improvement of position of women in sports and in society in general.

The proud Galicia native, Vero runs a highly popular annual youth football camp in Santiago de Compostela and across the North-West region of Spain and has also established a school to promote her vision of technical football among young people.
