**Arsenal** have completed the permanent signing of Danish goalkeeper Isabella Damm.
Damm signs after impressing on trial
------------------------------------
The 18-year-old goalkeeper joins from Danish side Brondby IF, having spent time at Arsenal on trial last season.
Damm, who joined Brondby in 2021, worked her way up through the youth ranks and made her first team debut in 2025.
She is also a Denmark youth international, having made her mark at both the U17 and U19 levels of the national side.
She also becomes part of a strong goalkeeping core for the FIFA Women’s Champions Cup holders, with Netherlands number one, Daphne van Domselaar, and German goalkeeper Anneke Borbe.
Proud to be joining Arsenal

Upon signing, Damm spoke about how the Gunners were the perfect club to help her develop on and off the pitch.
“I’m so proud to be joining Arsenal, and I can’t wait to get started,” said Isabella. “Arsenal is a great club, and I’m excited to develop as a player and as a person here, and help the club achieve more success. I’ve had the experience of training here before, and I know the environment here is the right one for me to progress.”
An exciting young goalkeeper for the present and the future

Director of Women’s Football Clare Wheatley said: “We’re really pleased to bring Isabella to the club. She’s a player we’ve been monitoring for some time, and we believe she’s one of the best young goalkeepers in Europe in her age group. We’re looking forward to seeing her grow and develop within our goalkeeping set-up here at Arsenal.”
Head Coach Renée Slegers added: “Isabella is an exciting young goalkeeper with a strong foundation to build on. Her technical ability, composure and bravery are already clear, and she has a high ceiling for growth and progression. Along with our goalkeeping coaches and wider staff, we’ll support her development as she starts her journey here at Arsenal.
