Midfielder, Frida Maanum has signed a new contract at Arsenal Women.
Maanum arrived at Arsenal from Sweden’s Linkoping FC in July 2021 and has since gone on to score 40 goals in 150 appearances for the North London club across four seasons, during which they won the Women’s League Cup titles in 2023 & 24.
“I love playing for this club, everything about it – the supporters, the community, playing at Emirates Stadium,” commented Maanum on signing her new contract. “Seeing how the club has developed over the last few years only makes me more excited to continue my journey here.
“We’ve had such special moments this season and getting to share those with our supporters has been amazing, I’m looking forward to continuing to celebrate with them and giving everything for this team.”
Arsenal Women’s Head Coach, Renee Slegers added that she is “delighted” to retain Maanum who she considers to be “… such an important player in the group and has made a big contribution to what we’ve achieved as a group during my time as head coach.”
Slegers proceeded to speak of Maanum’s ability to push for success and trophies with Arsenal, as the Gunners prepare for this season’s UEFA Women’s Champions League Final on Saturday 24 May in Lisbon, Portugal, against Barcelona.
“I know Frida has the ambition and drive to continue striving for improvement as we continue to aim to compete for the highest honours together.”
Arsenal’s Director of Women’s Football, Clare Wheatley spoke of Maanum’s progress throughout her time at Arsenal as she praised the Norwegian for capitalising upon her opportunities to develop her game.
“Frida joined us at a young age and has shown great growth and development across her four years with the club. She’s taken the opportunities offered to her here and we’re proud to see her delivering strong performances consistently.
“Together with our supporters, we’re looking forward to seeing her continued development here at Arsenal.”
