WSL's record goalscorer Miedema turns down big offers to pen new deal at Arsenal

The Dutch international joined the Gunners from Bayern Munich in 2017, and has scored 74 goals in five seasons.

ARSENAL STRIKER VIVIANNE Miedema has signed a new contract with the club.

The 25-year-old joined the Gunners from Bayern Munich in 2017, helping them win the Women’s Super League in 2019 and the Continental Cup in 2018.

Miedema is the all-time top goalscorer in WSL and was second in the scoring charts this season with 14 goals, helping Arsenal finish as runners-up in the league table.

The Dutch forward has also had success on the international stage, winning a home Euros in 2017 and finishing second in the 2019 World Cup.

She has been linked with moves to the likes of Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain in recent times but rebuffed the interest. 

“I think the most beautiful thing about the game is building something with a team and with people around you that you really want to be around,” Miedema told the Arsenal website.

“I do feel like I have got that at Arsenal. I feel like, for me, winning titles with Arsenal will mean a lot more to me than winning them with another club at the moment. And that’s what I obviously hope to achieve with Arsenal.”
