Olivia Smith Joins Arsenal in Record Women's Football Transfer

Olivia Smith leaves Liverpool for Arsenal. The 20-year-old Canadian thereby becomes the most expensive football transfer ever on the women's side. The London club pays 1.1 million British pounds, equivalent to just over 14.3 million kronor, for the striker, according to The Guardian.

”It is my dream to compete for the biggest titles in England and Europe. I am excited to start and see what I can contribute”, says Smith in a statement on Arsenal's website.

Smith scored seven goals in 20 appearances in the Super League last season and according to consistent reports in the English press, the Canadian has signed a four-year contract.

The previous record was over twelve million kronor when American Naomi Girma, 24, moved from San Diego to Chelsea in January this year.
