Arsenal didn't want to sit still after winning the title of women Champions League, and swore to strengthen her squad.

This is a striking recruit that does exactly that when Olivia Smith is generally seen as one of the most exciting young people in the WSL with a high ceiling of the potential.

It brings pace and directness in Arsenal's attack line -up and has already proven to be a successful season in Liverpool in the WSL.

There was a long -term interest in Smith of Arsenal, which was made by Liverpool in 2024 to sign and they were always ready to spend them if they need.

The 20-year-old had several clients, but it is believed that she was impressed by Arsenal's recruitment presentation and has the feeling that she can improve in the club.

After Arsenal had gone home as a teenager in Portugal at the age of 20 to play in Portugal, she believes that she has proven her character and ability to be part of an elite squad.

Arsenal has concluded a four -year contract for her and is satisfied with three new faces with her summer business and Chloe Kelly in a permanent deal that is ready to start on Thursday.

The European champions remain open to strengthening, but with Smith they have collected their main goal.
