Iceland international striker signs three-year WSL contract
Charlton Athletic have completed the signing of Iceland international striker Linda Líf Boama from Kristianstads DFF.
The forward has signed a three-year contract with the Women’s Super League side, making the move from Sweden to England ahead of the new campaign.
While the transfer gives Boama a new challenge, her recent goalscoring numbers suggest Charlton have signed a forward who knows how to make her opportunities count.
One of Sweden’s Most Efficient Goalscorers
Boama finished among the leading players in the 2026 Damallsvenskan for goals per 90 minutes.
Her figure of 0.73 goals per 90 minutes placed her third in the league’s ranking.
The 2026 leaders were:
- 🥇 Felicia Schröder — 1.07
- 🥈 Olivia Garcia — 0.77
- 🥉 Linda Líf Boama — 0.73
- Älvali Lindström / Izzy D’Aquila — 0.52
- Maja Bodin — 0.51
Boama’s ranking puts her among the most efficient attacking players in Sweden during the 2026 season.
From Kristianstads to the WSL
Boama now leaves Kristianstads DFF for a new challenge in England.
The move to Charlton represents a significant step up in profile and gives the Iceland international the opportunity to compete in one of Europe’s most competitive women’s leagues.
Her ability to score at a high rate in Sweden will be closely watched as she adapts to the pace and physical demands of the WSL.
Iceland International
Boama also brings international experience to Charlton.
Representing Iceland, she has already gained experience at senior international level.
That experience should help her make the transition to English football and provide Charlton with another player accustomed to high-level competition.
A Statistical Signing?
The most intriguing part of this transfer is undoubtedly Boama’s goals-per-90 record.
A figure of 0.73 goals per 90 means she was scoring at a rate significantly higher than most of the leading forwards in the Damallsvenskan.
Of course, statistics from different leagues don’t automatically translate directly into the WSL.
But they provide an exciting indication of the goalscoring threat Charlton could have added to their attack.

What Boama Brings to Charlton
Boama’s goalscoring efficiency immediately stands out.
Finishing third in the 2026 Damallsvenskan goals-per-90 ranking suggests she has been highly effective when given opportunities.
The next challenge will be translating that efficiency to the WSL.
Her movement, finishing and ability to find goals will be particularly important as she adapts to a new league and a different style of football.
Transfer Tribune Verdict
This could be a very interesting signing for Charlton.
The WSL is a significant step up, but Boama arrives with a statistic that will certainly excite Charlton supporters: 0.73 goals per 90 minutes in the 2026 Damallsvenskan.
That placed her third among the league’s leading players in the category, behind only Felicia Schröder and Olivia Garcia.
Now comes the fascinating part — seeing whether that efficiency can translate to English football.
Charlton may have found themselves a striker worth keeping a very close eye on.
