The 22-year-old has switched from No 15 after retaining the PFA Women’s Young Player of the Year award for a second straight season.

Olivia Smith will wear the No 11 shirt for Arsenal Women in 2026-27 after switching from the No 15 she had worn since her arrival in north London from Liverpool as the first £1m player in the women’s game on a four-year contract.

She retained the PFA Women’s Young Player of the Year award, becoming the recipient for a second consecutive season. Given her age, she could also win it next year to complete a hattrick.

The No 11 shirt had previously been worn by Katie McCabe, who has since joined Chelsea.
