Swedish international forward Lina Hurtig will leave Arsenal this summer when her current contract comes to an end.
The Gunners announced the news via a post on their official club website this morning.
The 29-year-old attacker joined Arsenal from Italian club Juventus in summer 2022. She has gone on to score seven goals for The Gunners in 36 appearances in all competitions.
Hurtig has helped Arsenal to win back-to-back Subway Women’s League Cups in her time in North London. The player could yet add one further achievement to her tally with The Gunners set to contest the UEFA Women’s Champions League final with FC Barcelona later this month.
Hurtig has struggled with injuries in the last couple of seasons and she has been limited to just 11 substitute outings this term. She will now look for a fresh challenge this summer with her contract at Arsenal set to expire. Hurtig’s next career move is not yet known but it is unlikely that she will continue to play her football in the Barclays Women’s Super League.
The forward is the first player to be leaving Arsenal at the end of the season. Further squad news will be revealed by the club in due course.
