Vivienne Lia has departed from Arsenal Women to join Eintracht Frankfurt on a four-year deal.
Eintracht finished third in the Frauen Bundesliga last term, which entitled them to enter the Champions League at the second qualifying round.
The 19-year-old winger, Vivienne Lia, made her first-team debut in the League Cup quarter-final win over London City Lionesses in February 2024 and was also a late substitute in the semi-final defeat of Aston Villa.
Lia started in the 2024 post-season win against the A-League All-Stars, providing the assist for the only goal of the game, and later in the summer played in a pre-season match against the Washington Spirit.
After signing her first professional contract with the Gunners in January 2025, Lia signed on loan for Southampton for the remainder of the season, making 9 appearances across all competitions.
The first half of the 2025/26 season was spent on loan at Nottingham Forest, playing 12 times, she then spent the rest of the campaign in Sweden with Hammarby, making another dozen appearances and scoring once.
Internationally, Vivienne Lia has been capped over 25 times for the England development sides, from Under-17s through to the Under-23s.
