Kyra Cooney-Cross has been voted as our Women's Player of the Month for December.
The Australian picked up 40% of the ballot from our supporters to top the poll, with Beth Mead in second place while Olivia Smith finished third.
Kyra was a crucial part of our winning run throughout the final month of 2025, starting all five matches in the middle of the park. The Australian was a dominant force in our midfield, showcasing her versatility playing as a defensive, central or attacking midfielder as and when required.
Our No. 32 was particularly impressive in our European matches, helping us dominate possession and control against Twente and OH Leuven.
Following our 3-1 win away to Everton, she said: “It was good to play with Kim and Mariona today. They're both very experienced, very talented players, so it was really nice playing with them today. It's been nice.
“I’ve been getting good consistency in minutes and I've been really enjoying it and making the most of it.”
It is the third time in Kyra's Arsenal career that she has won our Player of the Month vote, following on from her triumphs in November 2023 and January 2025.
