Arsenal break all transfer restrictions in women's football. |
According to Sky Sports , Arsenal have reached an agreement to sign Olivia Smith from Liverpool for a record fee of £1 million. Smith becomes the first female player in world football history to surpass the £1 million transfer mark.
Chelsea had previously spent £890,000 to sign Naomi Girma from San Diego Wave, which was also a women's football transfer record before it was broken. Chelsea have always been known for their strong financial resources, and deals like this only add to the competition in the English Women's Championship (WSL).
Smith, just 20 years old, is one of the most talented players in Canadian soccer. She had an impressive season in the WSL, scoring 7 goals in 20 games, helping Liverpool have a successful season despite finishing 7th. Arsenal, after winning the 2024/25 Women's Champions League, quickly added this important factor to strengthen their strength for the new season.
Before joining Arsenal, Smith was a hot name in the transfer market, with interest from a number of big clubs. Liverpool bought her from Sporting Lisbon for £210,000 last year and are now set to make almost £800,000 profit from the deal.
Arsenal are bolstering their squad to make a difference in the WSL race, with Chelsea holding a record eight titles, including six in a row. The signing of Olivia Smith is a clear message that Arsenal are determined to regain their domestic position while maintaining their European ambitions.
