Ava Kuyken

This was supposed to be a top 3 list but Arsenal have been too damn good to select only three of them.

Arsenal defeated Championship side Charlton 5-0 and are through to the knock-out stages alongside the other big guns Manchester City and Chelsea.

Arsenal Women’s unbeaten run ended up with a 2-0 defeat away at City but it wasn’t unexpected considering our bad luck with injuries in the last few weeks.

On Sunday against Brighton and Hove Albion, Arsenal only had three outfield players named on the subs bench thanks to an obscure FA rule that limits academy players’ involvement but, as with most rules, there is a loophole.

Arsenal’s women romped to yet another win on Sunday when they put four past Brighton and Hove Albion, but why did they only have four subs on the bench?

17-year-old midfielder Ava Kuyken will leave Arsenal for the Florida Gators with her new side saying she will bring ‘leadership qualities’ to the team.

John Griffiths has named his squad for the upcoming u17 Elite Round and there are two Arsenal players included but Lauren James seems to have been refused permission to join the squad.

Following the international break, the first team and the development team were back in business and both went home with an away win –  2-0 for the fist team and 5-1 for the reserves.

The Arsenal winger, Lauren James, captained the England u-17 team in their 10-0 win over hosts Latvia in Riga to kick-start their 2017/18 campaign that could take them all the way to Uruguay for the FIFA u17 Women’s World Cup.

John Griffiths has selected his 20-person squad for the upcoming UEFA u17 qualifying round and four Arsenal girls have been selected.
