Beth Mead to leave Arsenal

Arsenal Football Club has announced that star forward Beth Mead will depart at the end of the current Women's Super League season.

The England international, who has been a cornerstone of the team for nine years, will leave as a free agent upon the expiration of her contract.

Mead's tenure at the club included multiple domestic trophies and her historic role in England's Euro 2022 triumph.

While her next destination remains unconfirmed, her departure marks the end of an era for the Gunners as they look to rebuild their attacking lineup for the 2026-27 campaign.
