Man City complete the signing of Beth Mead | OneFootball

Manchester City have announced the big-name signing of Beth Mead from Arsenal on a free transfer.

Mead left the Gunners after 10 hugely successful seasons at the club where she won the WSL, three League Cups, as well as the 2024/25 Champions League title.

Now the 31-year-old has swapped red for blue after penning a three-year deal with current WSL winners City.

"I’m very proud to be here," Mead said on her arrival. "Obviously, City had an amazing season last year and I am excited to start a new chapter here.

"I think the way City plays suits me really well, and I feel like it can get something extra out of my game.

"Speaking to the manager, I think it was a place where I think I can really fit into, help and bring a different dynamic to the team, so it was a no-brainer for me."

In the 2025/26 season, Mead featured 35 times for Arsenal in all competitions, scoring five times and making nine assists.
