Mariona Caldentey, formerly pivotal in securing a league and Champions League double for Barcelona, has now inked a deal with Arsenal, post her free agent status.
With Vivianne Miedema’s departure on the horizon, Arsenal moved swiftly to fortify their lineup by enlisting World Cup champ Caldentey without cost.
The Gunners, in their quest for robust attacking prowess post-Miedema, now welcome Caldentey who concluded her impressive decade-long tenure at Barcelona.
Her tenure at Barcelona, boasting 167 caps netting 47 goals in the Spanish league alone, makes her a notable acquisition for Arsenal.
“The club’s trajectory is thrilling both in the arena and in community engagement,” expressed Caldentey, fresh from her World Cup victory with Spain over England.
“The supporters’ passion is palpable, and the broken records speak volumes. I’m eager to contribute to our trophy collection and dazzle our fans,” she continued.
In sum, Caldentey’s transfer not only boosts Arsenal’s attacking force but also brings a seasoned victor to their ranks.
