Arsenal defenders
Emily Fox
- Age 27
- Contract until (rumoured June 2027)
- Value unknown
Emily is a world class right back, very reliable and consistent. If the club and the player want to carry on, an extension needs ot be worked on soon. Otherwise a free transfer at the end of next season could happen, but Arsenal have the succession planning spot on on if it happens.

Arsenal midfielders

Frida Maanum
- Age 26
- Contract until unknown
- Value unknown
A very important player in the rotation, not a starting XI player but one of those who come in and do the job well. Can score goals, deliver assists and defensively strong for a second-striker type. The coach has a lot of trust in her and rightly so.

Laila Harbert
- Age 20
- Contract until unknown
- Value unknown
She should be a key player in Arsenal future midfield such is her potential, can play in 6 or 8 without problem. The press has reported she will be sold to San Diego Waves with an option to buy back.

Kyra Cooney-Cross
- Age 24
- Contract until unknown (rumoured 2027)
- Value unknown
Had a very complicated season due to injury, lack of trust from the head coach and family problems that made her stay at home. Can she realise her potential in the Arsenal set-up or will she be used again as a rotation player? A couple of midfielders arriving means she will have to fight hard to get a place in the starting XI.

Arsenal forwards

- Contract unknown (rumoured 2029)
- Value £1m
One for the present and the future, can improve to become world class soon.

Rosa Kafaji
- Age 22
- Contract unknown (rumoured 2028)
- Value unknown
She spent the season on loan at Brighton. Can she fit in the Arsenal system and in which position? I think it will depend if a good offer comes for her and how deep a squad does Renee Slegers want.

Chloe Kelly

A clutch player that has a proven record at international level. An excellent asset to the club.

Caitlin Foord
- Age 31
- Contract until 2026
- Value free agent
Do the club need to buy a new winger or extend her for a short contract? Very much the question here, if a new winger comes in to replace her numerically alongside the one who will replace Mead, she does not need to be extended.

Alessia Russo

- Contract until unknown
- Value unknown
She has developed into a top class forward, irreplaceable.

Michelle Agyemang
- Age 20
- Contract until unknown
- Value unknown
The third striking option, has already proven at international level that she can do the job as as substitute. As a rotation option when she comes back from her ACL, she will surely be an important player to finish games.

Clearly the club is having a busy window with up to four players already rumoured to come. The sqaud will be strong enough to compete in three tournaments next season (UEFA WCL, Barclays WSL and FA Women’s Cup).
