VIVIANNE Miedema will leave Arsenal at the end of the season, the club confirmed this week.

The Netherlands international has scored a record 79 goals in the Women’s Super League since joining the Gunners from Bayern Munich in 2017. In all competitions the striker bagged 125 goals for the club and provided 50 assists in 172 appearances.

In an emotional farewell video on Instagram, Miedema said: “After seven special years, it’s time for my Arsenal journey to come to an end. To have represented a club like this with so much history and tradition has been an absolute honour, so above all else, I’d like to say thank you for making this chapter of my life so memorable.”

Miedema’s numbers would no doubt have been even more mesmerising had it not been for injuries. The 27-year-old spent 10 months on the sidelines after rupturing her anterior cruciate ligament in December 2022, and then underwent minor knee surgery in March, limiting her to just 13 games this season.
