Georgia Stanway has been announced by Arsenal as their latest summer signing. Renee Slegers and the club have entered the window aggressively and are looking to upgrade several positions.
The move comes as quite the coup by Arsenal, with the 27-year-old in the prime years of her career. A European champion with England and a four-time Frauen-Bundesliga champion, Stanway brings plenty of winning experience to the squad.
She ended her career in Germany, having scored 32 goals in 128 games after signing for Bayern from Manchester City, where she made 172 appearances, scoring 59 goals. Stanway will offer Slegers plenty of quality in the Gunners' midfield.
