Swedish national team star Smilla Holmberg is ready to join English club Arsenal. "It has always been my dream to play for Arsenal," the 19-year-old told the London club's website.

The fullback is leaving Hammarby, where she had a contract running through the 2026 season. Last season, Holmberg accounted for six goals in 26 matches in the Swedish women's championship.

“I look forward to starting a new chapter and continuing to develop my game in a demanding environment at the highest level,” she says.

In 2025, Holmberg also broke into Sweden's national team. She scored in Sweden's 4–1 group-stage win over Germany in the European Championship. In total, Holmberg has made nine senior international appearances for Sweden, all during the past year.
