Striker Russo signs new long-term Arsenal deal

Alessia Russo, the England international, has agreed to a new, long-term deal with Arsenal.

Since moving to Manchester United in 2023, the 26-year-old has scored 36 goals in 72 games.

Russo remarked, “Arsenal feels like home.” I’ve been a member of this club for two years, and it has felt that way to me.

Russo assisted Arsenal in winning the Champions League in May and scored in the Euro 2025 final with a winning title defense.

She continued, “I’m still so hungry for more success, and I know that everyone at the club shares my desire.” I’m eager to begin this season.

Russo and Khadija Shaw shared the Golden Boot with Manchester City’s striker Khadija Shaw in the 21 Women’s Super League games that year.

Russo was named in the Professional Footballers’ Association and the Uefa Champions League teams of the year and nominated for the 2025 Ballon d’Or.

Renee Slegers, the head coach of Arsenal, stated, “Alessia is a really important member of our group, and I’m so happy that she has accepted a new deal here.”

Alessia frequently shines in Alessia’s goals, but she also contributes a lot to our organization.
