Beth Mead to Exit Arsenal After Nine Trophy‑Rich Years

England forward Beth Mead will depart Arsenal this summer when her contract expires, ending a prolific nine‑year career with 86 goals in 265 games.

Mead, who joined from Sunderland in 2015, has been pivotal in Arsenal’s successes, winning a WSL title, three League Cups, the Champions League and the Champions Cup. Her clever pass helped secure the club’s second European title in May, setting up Stina Blackstenius’s goal against Barcelona in the Lisbon final. forestarrow.help
