Arsenal Women have bolstered their squad for the upcoming season with four confirmed signings in the 2024/25 transfer window. The Gunners have secured the services of Olivia Smith, Chloe Kelly, Anneke Borbe, and Taylor Hinds.
Olivia Smith, a 20-year-old Canadian winger, joins Arsenal from Liverpool for a world-record fee of £1 million, making her the most expensive signing in women's football history. Smith was a breakout star in the previous season and is excited to compete for titles with Arsenal in England and Europe. She values the atmosphere created by Arsenal's supporters at Emirates Stadium.
Chloe Kelly has signed permanently from Manchester City after a successful loan spell at Arsenal, helping them win the Women's Champions League last season. There were mass rumors about Kelly joining Arsenal permanently, which were confirmed on 2 July.
