The player in question would likely face intense competition for game time at Arsenal, given the team's impressive attacking lineup. England internationals Alessia Russo and Beth Mead are part of the squad, and their skills would undoubtedly make them top choices for the coach. Russo, in particular, has been in outstanding form, earning her the England Women's Player of the Year award for 2023-2024. She's known for her goal-scoring ability, with notable performances in the UEFA Women's Champions League and the Women's Super League.

Beth Mead: A key player for Arsenal, Mead's skills and experience make her a valuable asset to the team.
Olivia Smith: The Canadian forward joined Arsenal from Liverpool in a record-breaking £1 million transfer deal, adding depth and quality to the squad.
Stina Blackstenius: A skilled forward with experience in the Women's Super League and European competitions.
Caitlin Foord: A versatile player who can contribute to various positions on the field.
The addition of Olivia Smith, who became the first £1 million female player in football history, further strengthens Arsenal's attacking lineup. With such a talented pool of players, competition for game time would indeed be fierce.
Michelle Agyemang's impressive loan spell with Brighton & Hove Albion saw her score 5 goals in 22 appearances, helping the team secure a fifth-place finish in the Women's Super League. Her standout performance earned her recognition, and she was instrumental in the team's success. Agyemang's talent and dedication have also caught the attention of the England national team, where she made her senior debut in April 2025 and scored her first goal against Belgium. She's since become a key player, scoring crucial goals in the UEFA Euro 2025, including equalizers against Sweden and Italy.
“We are thrilled to welcome Michelle back for another season. We loved working with her last year, and seeing how much she progressed as part of the squad,” said Brighton head coach Dario Vidosic.
