Alessia Russo extended her stay with us when she put pen to paper on a new contract this week, in news that will excite all Gooners who have enjoyed seeing her star for us since her arrival in the summer of 2023.
And the stats back up the influence she’s made on our team in that time.
Across the 2023/24 and 2024/25 seasons, Alessia was second only to Manchester City’s Khadija Shaw for goals scored, as our forward found the net 24 times in 43 matches.
