“This club is home to me” – Mead in a new deal with Arsenal
Share this
Arsenal female/Winger Beth Mead has renewed her contract with Arsenal and now calls the north London team “home.”
WHAT TRANSPIRED?: According to the BBC, the European champion has signed a multi-year deal to extend her time with the Gunners. Mead had a fantastic season for her club in 2021–22, contributing to 33 goals—14 goals and 19 assists—in 40 games. Her 2022–2023 season has been cut short by an ACL injury, but after extending her contract, she reaffirmed her desire to win trophies with Arsenal.
She said; “I’m so happy to have signed a new deal with Arsenal,” said Mead. “This club is home for me – I’ve grown so much here as a player and a person and I know we can achieve so much more together in the years to come. I want to compete to win the biggest trophies in the game and I know that the ambitions at Arsenal match my own, so I can’t wait to get back onto the pitch and help to deliver the success our supporters deserve.”
THE BROAD VIEW: Mead, who was voted Player of the Tournament, was crucial to England’s success at Euro 2022. With six goals in six games and five assists, which was the most in the competition, she also took home the Golden Boot. Mead’s achievements on home soil earned her the title of England Player of the Year for 2021–22.
NEXT MOVE FOR MEAD: Mead is expected to miss a significant amount of time due to a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament tear she sustained against Manchester United in a WSL match in November.
