Arsenal have announced the signing of Czech international goalkeeper Barbora Votikova on loan from Slavia Prague.
The 29-year-old goalkeeper will spend the rest of the 2025/26 campaign in North London.
Barbora began her senior career with Victoria Plzen in 2013 before spending seven years with Slavia Prague between 2014 and 2021, helping the team to win four Czech league titles and one Czech Cup.
The experienced goalkeeper then had spells with PSG and Sp*rs before a return to Slavia Prague in 2024, winning a Czech league and cup double last season.
At international level, Barbora made her Czechia debut in 2014 and has gone on to collect 56 appearances for her national team.
“It feels amazing to join this special club,” Votikova told the official site. “Arsenal is one of the biggest clubs in the world, with a special team and special supporters, so it’s a huge honour for me to come here.
“It’s been a dream of mine to play at Emirates Stadium and I can’t wait to get started.”
Head Coach Renee Slegers added: “We’re delighted to bring in an experienced goalkeeper in Barbora, who will provide additional cover and competition in our goalkeeper unit.
“Barbora has extensive experience across different leagues in Europe and is familiar with the WSL, so we feel she is an excellent signing to strengthen our squad for the remainder of this season.”
Barbora will wear the number 13, welcome to The Arsenal.
