Blackstenius joined Arsenal on a free transfer in January 2022 after leaving former club BK Häcken. She has gone on to score 43 goals in 83 appearances for the North Londoners in all competitions.

After signing her new contract with The Gunners, Blackstenius said “I’m so happy to have signed a new contract here at Arsenal. In the space of two-and-a-half years, this club has come to feel like home; that’s thanks to my teammates and the staff of course, but most of all because of our wonderful supporters.
“There is such a special atmosphere around this club and we are all hungry to achieve more together. Your support means the world to me and I can’t wait to get back here to go again next season.”
Blackstenius will now look towards a busy summer on the international stage with Sweden as they aim to qualify for the UEFA Women’s EURO 2025.
