Georgia Stanway has signed a new long-term contract with Arsenal Women, extending her stay at the club until 2029. The England international midfielder, who joined Arsenal from Bayern Munich in 2023, has been a key figure in the team's midfield since her arrival.
Stanway's Impact at Arsenal
Since moving to the Women's Super League, Stanway has made 45 appearances for Arsenal, scoring 12 goals and providing 8 assists. Her performances have helped Arsenal secure a top-three finish in the WSL and reach the FA Cup final last season. Arsenal head coach Jonas Eidevall praised Stanway's contribution, saying, 'Georgia is a fantastic player with immense quality and determination. She has been integral to our progress, and we are delighted she will continue to be part of our journey.'
Contract Details and Future Ambitions
The new deal, which runs until 2029, underscores Arsenal's commitment to building a squad capable of challenging for the WSL title and making deep runs in the UEFA Women's Champions League. Stanway expressed her excitement about the future, stating, 'I'm thrilled to sign this new contract. Arsenal feels like home, and I believe we have the squad and the ambition to win major trophies. I can't wait to see what we can achieve together.'
Stanway's decision to commit long-term is a significant boost for Arsenal as they look to close the gap on league leaders Chelsea and Manchester City. The 26-year-old has been a consistent performer for both club and country, earning 50 caps for England and representing the Lionesses at the 2023 World Cup.
Reaction from Teammates and Fans
Teammate Beth Mead welcomed the news, saying, 'G is a warrior. She gives everything on the pitch, and her energy is infectious. I'm so happy she's staying.' Fans have also expressed their delight on social media, with many viewing the contract extension as a statement of intent from the club.
