College soccer star Deyna Castellanos signs for Atletico Madrid

(CNN)Venezuelan soccer sensation Deyna Castellanos has joined Atletico Madrid until 2022, following her impressive US college career.

The 20-year-old striker signs for the Spanish outfit from Florida State University where she attracted worldwide attention after scoring 47 times in just 77 games.

Castellanos shot to fame in 2017 when she was nominated for the FIFA Best Award and Puskas Award, the latter for a stunning strike from the halfway line.

"Happy for the decision to come to a leading club of women's football and very excited to come to a dressing room full of talent and personality," said Castellanos, who boasts 1.3 million Instagram followers.

"Thank you Atletico Femenino for the confidence. From now, focused and motivated to learn and grow in this new chapter."
