”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.
