Arsenal bid farewell to plenty of players at the end of the season, with Mead and McCabe among six first-team stars to depart. While the club did announce a new deal for out-of-contract winger Caitlin Foord on Thursday, they are yet to replenish the squad after such a significant number of exits.
The Gunners are being linked with plenty of players, though. England midfielder Georgia Stanway has been reportedly set for a move to north London for months nowas has Spain international Ona Batlle. Both have just left Bayern Munich and Barcelona, respectively, after their contracts expired.
Selina Cerci, who scored 32 goals in 43 Bundesliga appearances for Hoffenheim, is another who could be joining Arsenal on a free transfer, alongside Geraldine Reuteler. The Switzerland international was being pursued by the Gunners last summer, after a stand-out European Championships, but a deal couldn’t be done. She has just left Eintracht Frankfurt on a free, though, paving the way for the move.
Lisa Baum, the talented 19-year-old at RB Leipzig, is another name being linked with Renee Slegers’ side. A talented and creative winger, her arrival would help fill the void left by Mead.
