MANILA, Philippines — Two-time FIFA women's World Cup champion Megan Rapinoe's success just keeps on coming after the football star signed book deals with Penguin Press.

US women's national team co-captain Rapinoe has reportedly signed with Penguin to work on a book about her life both on and off the field.

Apart from this, she has also inked with Penguin Young Readers division Razorbill for a middle-grade book that will talk about social justice and change.

The soccer star's book is slated to be released in 2020.

Rapinoe made headlines this year for openly denouncing US President Donald Trump and saying she will refuse to go to the White House if invited after the World Cup.

The pink-haired soccer star recently helped lead the US to its second World Cup title in a row.
