Arsenal’s impact in the Barclays Women’s Super League (WSL) has been recognised with Jonas Eidevall being nominated for the Manager of the Month award for January, and Emily Fox being shortlisted for the Player of the Month accolade.

Under his stewardship, Arsenal also secured big wins in the Adobe Women’s FA Cup against Watford and in the FA Women’s Continental Tyres League Cup against Reading, further asserting their dominance across competitions.

Emily Fox, Arsenal’s new signing, has made an immediate impact since her debut. She featured in Arsenal’s emphatic 5-1 Adobe Women’s FA Cup victory over Watford and played a pivotal role in both WSL matches in January. Notably, her assist in the 60th minute against Liverpool helped Vivianne Miedema score, contributing to the 2-0 win away from home.
