Olivia Smith described joining us as a dream come true after she put pen to paper on a new deal at Arsenal.
Arriving from Liverpool, the Canadian forward spoke about her emotions surrounding a transfer to the UEFA Women’s Champions League winners.
“It’s a privilege and an honour,” she told us in her first interview as a Gunner. “Everything that Arsenal has accomplished is just so massive, and for me to now be a part of that, I’m very excited.
“I think it’s always a very difficult decision to make a change, but at the end of the day, I always want to grow, and I think that’s been my philosophy going through my career ever since I was young. I just want to find new ways to grow, learn from different coaches, learn from different teammates.
“I just felt like now is the right time, and it’s always been my dream to play for a club like Arsenal as well, and they’re doing so well again, so I’m excited to be here.”
